Following the possible departure of Mason Greenwood, the Olympique de Marseille (OM) may soon face another significant loss in their squad. Reports indicate that AC Milan is closely examining the profile of Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, a dynamic Danish midfielder, as a potential reinforcement for their team. With Marseille under pressure to trim its payroll and secure financial stability, Højbjerg’s transfer could become a key move for both parties.
AC Milan’s interest in the Danish midfielder
While negotiations have not yet reached an advanced stage, AC Milan is carefully assessing the situation. Manager Ruben Amorim plans to evaluate his current squad during pre-season training before deciding whether a midfield upgrade is necessary. If any key player departs, Højbjerg could quickly become a top priority for the Rossoneri. Despite being under contract with Marseille until 2028, the club may not stand in the way of a transfer worth around €10 million—a reasonable fee for a 30-year-old with a high salary. Højbjerg himself has reportedly shown preference for a move to Italy, where multiple clubs have been monitoring his situation for weeks.
Reuniting with Adrien Rabiot in Milan
Upon his arrival at AC Milan, Højbjerg would reunite with his former teammate 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, showcasing his leadership and competitive edge. His potential move would not only provide Marseille with financial relief but also mark another major sporting setback after the potential exit of Greenwood.
