Cissé has scored eight goals in 13 appearances, averaging a goal every 83 minutes. His performances have prompted Milan to consider improving an agreement that currently runs until June 2030.
The 20-year-old joined the Rossoneri from Hellas Verona in February, in a deal reported to be worth €8 million plus bonuses. He completed the 2025-26 campaign on loan at Catanzaro before returning to AC Milan and making an immediate impact in the first team.
His current salary is reported to be around €800,000 a year. Milan are understood to have proposed an improved deal, potentially doubling his earnings, although the details of any extension remain unresolved.
The club have reason to move quickly. Cissé’s versatility is particularly attractive, with the Italian capable of operating as a central striker, a second forward or from a wider attacking position.
That flexibility has helped bring him to the attention of several Premier League clubs. Arsenal and Brighton are among those reported to be interested, while other English sides have also made enquiries.
Tuttomercatoweb suggests that a potential transfer could command a fee in the region of €50 million to €60 million. Such a valuation would represent a remarkable rise from the amount Milan paid Verona only months ago, but the club are not thought to be actively looking to sell.
Cissé’s progress has been rapid. He developed at Verona before gaining valuable senior experience with Catanzaro in Serie B, where his performances convinced Milan to bring forward their plans to sign him.
The Rossoneri now face the task of rewarding that development while protecting an asset who has quickly become one of their most exciting young players. A longer contract and improved salary would strengthen their position, but the growing attention from England means negotiations could become increasingly important.
