Football transfer rumours: marseille set to lose another key player

The Olympique de Marseille may soon face another significant departure from their ranks. Following the potential exit of Mason Greenwood, reports indicate that AC Milan is seriously considering acquiring Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, a move that could reshape both squads.

Højbjerg emerges as a prime target for Milan

While talks remain in their early stages, AC Milan’s technical staff, led by manager Ruben Amorim, are closely monitoring Højbjerg’s situation. The Rossoneri are evaluating their midfield depth during pre-season preparations, but if a key player departs, the Danish international could swiftly become their top priority. His contract with Marseille runs until 2028, yet the club is reportedly open to entertaining offers in the range of ten million euros—a reasonable sum for a 30-year-old midfielder with a substantial wage bill.

Højbjerg’s preference for a move to Italy has been well-documented, with several Serie A clubs keeping tabs on his availability for weeks. The lure of playing alongside top talent in a competitive league appears to be a major factor in his decision-making.

Reuniting with former teammate Rabiot

If he joins AC Milan, Højbjerg would once again share the pitch with Adrien Rabiot, his former teammate at Marseille. Last season, Højbjerg contributed four goals and five assists in 32 Ligue 1 appearances, providing a blend of experience and tenacity. His departure would not only bolster Milan’s midfield but also represent a smart financial move for Marseille, easing their wage burden while coping with the loss of Greenwood.
