Milan move to extend Alpha Cisse's stay after Salzburg treble
Milan are preparing a new contract for teenage forward Alpha Cisse after his hat-trick against Salzburg in the Europa League. Talks with his representatives are expected to begin next week, and there is optimism a deal can be completed before the end of 2026. Cisse currently earns about €800,000 per season and is under contract until the summer of 2030.
Milan are moving to reward Alpha Cisse after the teenage forward scored three times against Salzburg in Thursday’s Europa League match. The Serie A club reportedly views his present terms—about €800,000 a season through summer 2030—as favorable value.
Negotiations with Cisse’s representatives are set to start next week. While no exact renewal figures have been settled, Milan believe progress can be made toward an agreement before the end of 2026. He has filled the role vacated by Rafael Leao at modest cost.
If Cisse signs improved terms, Milan supporters could see a promising young attacker committed to the club, while teammates and academy players may view his rise as evidence that youth can earn trust. The deal may also affect how fans and clubs value low-cost squad planning, though its broader social impact would likely remain limited to football culture and local identity.
