Milan has refused an offer from Hull City, who were newly promoted to the Premier League, for the permanent transfer of 21-year-old Swiss youth international Right-Back Zachary Athekame. The Italian club rejected the bid because they prefer to send the player on loan to France, and Lyon is his expected destination for a temporary move. Athekame, who joined Milan in August 2025, has 17 caps for the Switzerland U21 team and is under contract until June 2030. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €15.00m.
