The Olympique de Marseille faces another potential blow to its squad, with Pierre-Emile Højbjerg emerging as a prime target for AC Milan. Following the recent departure rumors surrounding Mason Greenwood, the Italian club is reportedly eyeing the Danish midfielder as a strategic reinforcement to bolster its midfield. Meanwhile, Marseille remains under pressure to trim its wage bill and secure fresh financial resources.
Højbjerg’s potential move to Italy
While discussions are still in their early stages, AC Milan manager Ruben Amorim plans to assess his squad during pre-season before finalizing any midfield additions. If a key Italian player departs, Højbjerg could swiftly become a top priority. Though under contract with Marseille until 2028, the club may not stand in his way of a potential transfer. An offer around €10 million could seal the deal, a reasonable valuation for a 30-year-old midfielder with a high salary. Italy appears to be the Danish star’s preferred destination, with several top clubs monitoring his situation for weeks.
Reuniting with Adrien Rabiot in Milan
If Højbjerg joins AC Milan, he would reunite with former teammate Adrien Rabiot, with whom he formed a formidable partnership during their time at Marseille. Last season, Højbjerg contributed four goals and five assists in 32 Ligue 1 appearances, showcasing his technical ability and competitive edge. His departure would provide Marseille with a significant financial boost while also dealing a major sporting setback, following the exit of Greenwood.
