The Olympique de Marseille may soon lose another key player from its roster. Following the potential departure of Mason Greenwood, reports suggest that AC Milan is closely eyeing Danish midfielder Pierre-Emile Højbjerg as a potential addition to their squad. The Rossoneri see Højbjerg as a valuable opportunity, while Marseille continues its efforts to trim its payroll and boost financial flexibility.
Højbjerg in AC Milan’s crosshairs
The transfer talks are still in the early stages, with Milan manager Ruben Amorim preferring to assess his squad during pre-season before deciding if a midfield reinforcement is needed. However, if one of their current midfielders departs, Højbjerg could quickly emerge as a top target. Despite being under contract with Marseille until 2028, the club may not stand in his way. A bid around ten million euros could be enough to seal a deal, especially given his age and high salary. Højbjerg has also expressed interest in playing in Italy, where several clubs have been monitoring his situation for weeks.
Reuniting with former teammate Rabiot
If Højbjerg joins AC Milan, he would reunite with Adrien Rabiot, with whom he formed a strong partnership during their time at Marseille. Last season, Højbjerg contributed four goals and five assists in 32 Ligue 1 appearances, bringing both experience and intensity to the team. While his exit would provide Marseille with a financial boost, it would also represent a significant sporting loss, following the potential departure of Greenwood.
