AC Milan are maintaining their interest in midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg as a potential transfer target for the January window, with manager Ruben Amorim identified as an admirer of the player’s tactical profile. According to journalist Daniele Longo, the Serie A club explored a deal for the Denmark international during the summer transfer window without reaching an agreement, but the possibility of a mid-season move remains active.
Tactical Fit and Valuation Under Amorim
The former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder is valued between €10m and €15m, a price tag that Milan believe they can target by capitalizing on Marseille’s difficult financial situation. Ruben Amorim views the Dane as a strong fit for his tactical system due to his high work rate and his ability to act as a defensive screen for the backline. Beyond his defensive responsibilities, Hojbjerg retains the capacity to make driving runs forward from deep positions, a trait he frequently demonstrated during his tenure in the Premier League with Tottenham.
Market Context and Prior Interest
During the summer transfer window, Hojbjerg turned down a proposed move to Newcastle United despite Marseille accepting an offer from the English club. While a switch to Tyneside failed to materialize due to the player’s rejection, he remains open to a transfer to Milan. Other Italian clubs have also tracked the midfielder in past windows, keeping Serie A as a viable destination for his next career step as the January market approaches.
