The Olympique de Marseille faces another potential major departure after the Mason Greenwood saga. Reports suggest that AC Milan is closely monitoring Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, the Danish midfielder, as a strong option to reinforce their squad. The Rossoneri are keen on the 30-year-old, especially as Marseille seeks to trim payroll and boost financial flexibility.
Højbjerg’s potential move to AC Milan
While the transfer isn’t yet at an advanced stage, Milan’s technical staff, led by Ruben Amorim, are carefully assessing their squad’s needs during pre-season preparations. If one of their current midfielders leaves, Højbjerg could quickly become a top target. The Danish international, under contract with Marseille until 2028, isn’t being retained at all costs. The club is reportedly open to entertaining offers around ten million euros, a reasonable valuation given his age and salary demands.
Højbjerg has reportedly been scouted by several Italian clubs in recent weeks, with Serie A’s appeal drawing his interest. His experience and physical presence in midfield could prove invaluable for Milan’s ambitions.
Reuniting with an old teammate
If the transfer materializes, Højbjerg would reunite with Adrien Rabiot, his former Marseille teammate. The French midfielder, who contributed four goals and five assists in 32 Ligue 1 appearances last season, brings both technical ability and leadership to Milan’s lineup. For Marseille, losing Højbjerg would be a financial gain but a significant sporting setback, following Greenwood’s departure.
