Alphadjo Cisse is clearly the man of the moment for Milan. But not just for Milan. A hat-trick in European competition, scored while still a teenager, carries considerable weight. And when viewed in the context of a flying start to the season like the one delivered by the young Treviso-born footballer, its significance increases even further.
In his first season in Serie A, his first in the Rossoneri shirt, and having returned from a serious muscle injury that caused him to miss half a year, Cisse is responding brilliantly and could be rewarded.
Cisse, A contract renewal and the call from Italy?
The performances of Alphadjo Cisse are beginning to attract attention. On the one hand, Milan need to protect their interests and are therefore already considering how to extend and improve his contract. On the other hand, it is a source of pride that this interest is coming from Coverciano and the senior Italian national team, where Cisse deserves a place.
Tuttosport leads with precisely these topics this morning, with the headline:
"Golden Cisse, between a contract renewal and the Azzurri. Euphoria after the three goals scored against Salzburg."
The subheading then adds: "An extension until 2031 is ready, with a salary of €1.5 million plus bonuses. A short step from Baldini to Mancini."
The article goes on to say: "Amorim has been a huge admirer of him since pre-season training camp. Now it is difficult to leave him on the bench," as relayed via Milan News.
