Catanzaro director discusses Cissè’s decision to stay after Milan option: “Out of respect”

When AC Milan bought Alphadjo Cissè, they were not buying a player to immediately join the squad. Instead, the youngster is one for the future.

It was a mercato for the Futuro last month, as opposed to Milan spending heavily on the first team, like they did last year. As a result, they made a few nice moves, covering a few bases in the process including the move for Cisse.

The plan, at least where the Rossoneri are concerned, is clear. For the rest of the season, he will remain at Catanzaro, where he spent the first half of the season, performing to a great level and then he will head to his new home in the summer.

At Milanello, he will then be assessed by Massimiliano Allegri and the next steps will be decided.

Cissè stays at Catanzaro

Yesterday, at a press conference, the Catanzaro sporting director, Ciro Polito, spoke to uscatanzarocalcionews about the youngster and his choice to stay, and his words are relayed MilanNews.

“Cissè had the opportunity to immediately join a major club, but he decided to stay out of respect for the group and the journey he began here. Anyone who wants to be in Catanzaro should stay here.

“Anyone who wears this jersey should do so with pride and responsibility towards a city that lives for football.”
