Ahead of the January 2027 winter transfer window, Milan is studying major moves to perfect the squad available to coach Rúben Amorim. The current tactical setup of the Rossoneri shows a short cover in a crucial role: that of the breaking and launching midfielder. With only Yunus Musah meeting these specific structural characteristics, the management on Via Aldo Rossi could put back on the radar an old target, Pierre-Emile Højbjerg. The midfielder, born in 1995, currently playing for Olympique Marseille, represents a top‑level technical and economic opportunity, with a market valuation ranging between 10 and 15 million euros.

The gap in Milan's midfield and Højbjerg's profile

Højbjerg perfectly matches this profile. The Danish midfielder combines elite international experience with tactical intelligence that allows him to shield the defence, acting as a perfect balance for the positive transitions demanded by modern football.
