Report Milan reject Cisse offer from Brighton and Hove Albion, plan new contract Several Italian reports claim that Milan rejected a proposal from Brighton and Hove Albion for Italy talent Alphadjo Cisse, and intend to lock him down to a new contract. The forward turned 20 only last month and has been a true revelation this season, scoring eight goals in just 13 appearances between Serie A and the Europa League. He also earned his first senior Italy call for the upcoming Nations League matches against France and Belgium.

That was rejected outright, as Milan know they have a talent on their hands and are eager to lock him down to a new and improved contract to reflect his current form.

His current contract runs to June 2030, and the new deal would probably not add too many more years to it, but certainly represent a significant pay rise.
