Premier League clubs West Ham, Nottingham Forest, and Wolves are all chasing AC Milan midfielder Yunus Musah. The USMNT star is set to leave Milan this summer and was nearing a move to Italian rival Napoli, but those talks have now stalled and opened the door for other clubs to join the race.
As reported by TeamTalk, the three Premier League clubs have now made contact for the player. West Ham started initial discussions with Milan but have not launched a bid, while Forest and Wolves have both made exploratory contacts with the player’s representatives.
Milan value the player at over €25m and are holding firm in their evaluation. The player is understood to be open to a transfer after Milan fell to eighth in the Serie A table. The 22 year old is said to be keen on a return to England, after spending time in the Arsenal academy as a youth player.
West Ham face competition from Forest and Wolves in Musuh race
Musah was born in the United States and spent time in Italy and England growing up. He signed for Arsenal at the age of nine in 2012 and spent seven years with the club.
He signed for Valencia in 2019 at the age of 16, spending his first year playing for the B team before making his first team debut in 2020 under Javi Garcia. From there he has enjoyed a meteoric rise of sorts, earning his first call up to the USMNT in the same year.
He went on to sign for AC Milan in 2023 for €18m and had been a key man for the Rossoneri. He made 30 Serie A appearances in his first season with the club in 2023/24 and last season made just one fewer with 29.
The player’s future has been the subject of much speculation this summer and transfer insider Rudy Galetti stated his situation is “heating up again.”
At this moment all interest in the player remains exploratory. After Napoli’s initial verbal agreement, Milan’s increased price demands have kept interested parties at bay.
