Milan planning to reward Cisse with new long-term contract Friday’s reports indicate that Milan are keen to tie teenage hat-trick hero Alphadjo Cisse down to a new and improved contract and that formal discussions could potentially begin by the end of next week. Gazzetta: Milan to offer Cisse new and improved contract Milan signed Cisse from Hellas Verona at the end of the January transfer window earlier this year, but remained on loan with Catanzaro for the remainder of the 2025-26 campaign after an impressive break-through season in Serie B, which brought six goals from 22 appearances in the second tier.

The teenager unsurprisingly claimed the man of the match award on Thursday night after becoming the youngest ever Italian to score a hat-trick in a major European competition. It has been an explosive start to life in the top flight for Cisse, and now, according to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport , Milan are hoping to tie him down to a new and improved contract in recognition of his status as a first-team star.

La Gazzetta dello Sport claims that Milan want to get a new contract for Cisse wrapped up by the end of the calendar year and that formal talks with his representatives could even begin by next week.
