The Olympique de Marseille may soon bid farewell to another key player. Fresh reports indicate that AC Milan is considering the possibility of signing Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, the Danish midfielder, as part of their transfer strategy for the upcoming season.
While the move is still in its exploratory phase, AC Milan’s coaching staff is closely monitoring the situation. Manager Stefano Pioli aims to assess his squad’s depth during pre-season training before finalizing any midfield reinforcements. Should an opportunity arise, Hojbjerg could quickly become a top priority for the Rossoneri.
Hojbjerg’s value in Milan’s tactics
Currently under contract with Olympique de Marseille until 2028, the 30-year-old midfielder is not being retained at all costs. The French club has indicated openness to negotiating a transfer fee close to €10 million, a figure deemed reasonable given his salary and age. Hojbjerg himself has shown a strong preference for a move to Italy, where several top clubs have been tracking his situation for weeks.
Reuniting with an old teammate
If the transfer materializes, Hojbjerg would reunite with Adrien Rabiot, his former partner in midfield during their time together at Olympique de Marseille. The French international contributed four goals and five assists in 32 Ligue 1 appearances last season, bringing both technical skill and physicality to the team. For Olympique de Marseille, while this deal would provide financial relief, it would also represent a significant loss on the pitch following the departure of Mason Greenwood earlier this year.
