Giants battle for Senegalese giant! Milan preparing €10 million bid for Belgian breakout
Italian giants Milan are preparing an official €10 million offer for 21-year-old Senegalese centre-back Massire Sylla of Belgian side Union Saint-Gilloise.
Details: According to respected insider Ekrem Konur, the rapid progress of the powerful 1.96-metre centre-back has sparked a major stir in the European transfer market. Alongside the Rossoneri, Italian side Roma are keeping a close eye on the young defender, as are three Turkish heavyweights — Fenerbahçe, Galatasaray and Beşiktaş.
The Belgian club’s hierarchy are doing everything they can to keep their defensive leader, offering him improved financial terms, but pressure from Serie A and Turkish Süper Lig clubs is mounting fast. The first concrete moves from the Italian and Turkish suitors are expected before the January transfer window officially opens.
It is worth noting that Massire Sylla joined Union Saint-Gilloise from Norwegian side Lyn in January 2026, going on to win the Belgian Cup and Super Cup with the Brussels club. In early November, he received his first call-up to the Senegal national team.
