Yunus Musah’s Italian struggles leave Milan decision and US place in the balance | OneFootball

Yunus Musah remains an AC Milan player despite fresh chatter around his future. Fabrizio Romano reports that Atalanta will not take up an option to buy, yet the situation is less straightforward, with Milan controlling his role and no definitive purchase in place.

The midfielder’s progress has stalled since leaving Valencia, his bursts of power offset by quieter games in a Serie A that prizes tactical clarity. According to Transfermarkt, his market value is 18 million euros, broadly unchanged from his Valencia days.

Viewed more as a work in progress than a finished product, Musah has faced the steep learning curve of Italy’s elite. His stint at Atalanta brought three goal contributions in 29 matches, two goals and one assist, underlining a limited attacking return.

Milan’s own reset after an uneven season, with tweaks to their technical structure and strategy, shapes how his case is judged. Managing young assets and potential resale value has become a priority, keeping him under constant review.

There is no firm call on his future, only evaluation within Milan’s wider rebuild. For now, his status depends on internal planning rather than external clauses.

Internationally, he has been left out of Mauricio Pochettino’s United States squad, a decision linked to limited minutes at Milan and Atalanta. The omission is a setback with FIFA World Cup 2026 approaching, and he must regain rhythm to re-enter consideration.
