Alphadjo Cissé’s move to AC Milan, while staying on loan at Catanzaro, raises his profile—punters could consider backing him in anytime-goalscorer markets in Serie B or placing small bets on Catanzaro victories when he starts, given his six goals in 21 appearances and recent Serie A debut signalling upward form.
AC Milan sign Alphadjo Cissé and keep him at Catanzaro on loan
AC Milan have completed the signing of 19-year-old forward Alphadjo Cissé from Hellas Verona and will allow him to finish the season on loan at Catanzaro. The Treviso-born striker has emerged as one of Italy’s bright young forwards after strong showings with Verona’s youth teams and in Serie B.
Loan form in Serie B
Cissé has scored six goals and provided one assist in 21 appearances for Catanzaro this season. His performances in a competitive Serie B campaign caught the eye of Milan’s scouts, underlining his capacity to adapt to professional football and influence matches in the second tier.
Development and early career
A product of Giorgione and Hellas Verona’s youth systems, Cissé netted 16 goals for Verona’s Primavera side in 2023/24 and earned his first Serie A appearance in May 2024. Those achievements helped build the case for a move to a top club while preserving his immediate development through regular minutes in Serie B.
International trajectory
Although of Guinean descent, Cissé has represented Italy at youth levels from U16 through to the U21s and has been recently called up to the higher age group, signalling national-team recognition of his potential.
What this means for bettors and markets
Cissé’s scoring touch and growing confidence make him a plausible pick in anytime-goalscorer markets in Serie B, particularly when he starts.
Short-term betting strategies could include small stakes on Catanzaro to win when he features or on Cissé to score, while longer-term markets might consider future transfer value or under-23 goal props if available.
Outlook
The move to Milan provides Cissé with a clear pathway to top-level football while Catanzaro benefits from his immediate impact. If he keeps progressing, expect increased attention from both clubs and bettors as he converts potential into consistent senior-level returns.
