Yunus Musah
Rome, Italy 18th May 2025: Yunus Musah of AC Milan during SERIE A 2024-25 football match between AS Roma vs AC Milan at the Olimpico Stadium
In the summer transfer window, Sport Witness extensively covered West Ham’s interest in Yunus Musah. A deal didn’t progress then but it can next summer, with Fulham also emerging as a suitor.
Instead of the Hammers, Musah ended up joining Atalanta on loan from AC Milan.
So far in all competitions, the versatile midfielder has played only 674 minutes. He was left on the bench on Wednesday, as Atalanta achieved a historic Champions League comeback against Borussia Dortmund.
That, in a nutshell, defines Musah’s situation. He is now likely to return to Milan in the summer. West Ham and Fulham are already keeping a close eye on his situation.
West Ham and Fulham big on transfer
MilanLive report about the 23-year-old, with Atalanta convinced about sending him back to the San Siro.
This will leave Milan with a problem on their hands. No other clubs have come forward for him so far but that will change in the summer. The Rossoneri want only €20m to sell him and Fulham and West Ham are willing to meet that asking price. Napoli can also do that, having previously tried to land him.
There is also a warning about interest from Turkey, where Besiktas are keen.
In the meantime, Musah is very keen on seeking a new challenge. He is likely to be interested in a move to England, even if staying in Italy would be his priority.
Yunus Musah presents versatile option
The USA international has mainly been used in midfield at Atalanta but that isn’t the best representation of his qualities.
That was seen more at Milan, where he played across the pitch. He also filled in at right-back, which is where he has also played for the national team many times. At times, Musah also played on the flanks and as an attacking midfielder.
This could make him a utility signing for West Ham and Fulham. He is only 23-years-of-age and only needs the right environment to thrive. He has previously played for England’s youth teams and qualifies as a homegrown player for the Premier League after spending multiple years in Arsenal’s youth system.
