The pause for national team commitments turns into a moment to seize on the fly for Milan on the transfer front. The management on Via Aldo Rossi, in close synergy with coach Rúben Amorim, is using this time window to analyze the structural weaknesses of the squad that emerged in the first official Serie A and Europa League matchdays. The radar of the Rossoneri scouts has reignited strongly on the midfield, a department where the cover risks becoming too short, bringing the name of Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, a midfielder owned by Olympique Marseille, back to the top of the wish list.

Already during the past summer transfer window, the Portuguese coach had advocated and approved the purchase of the former Tottenham player, considering him the ideal profile to give width and substance to his tactical setup. In January, the pursuit could materialise quickly with a decidedly sustainable investment: the player's transfer fee is estimated between 10 and 15 million euros, a sum well within Milan's financial reach.
