AC Milan are being linked with a move for Tromsø IL’s teenage centre-back Abubacarr Sedi Kinteh, with the highly rated Gambian defender rumoured to be on the Italian club’s radar.
The 19-year-old, who is listed with a market value of €5.00m, is currently on the books of Norwegian Eliteserien side Tromsø IL, where he wears the number 25 shirt. Reports on Transfermarkt dated 3 May 2026 place Milan as potential suitors, although the probability of any deal taking place is recorded only as “?” at this stage.
Kinteh, born on 30 November 2006, is a left-footed central defender standing at 1.86m and is regarded as one of the more promising young Gambian players operating in Europe. He is registered as a centre-back but is broadly categorised as a defender, and his profile has risen through his performances in Norway’s top flight.
Details of his current contract at Tromsø remain unclear, with no public information on when his deal was signed or when it expires. That uncertainty has fuelled speculation that he could eventually become available as a free agent if fresh terms are not agreed, a scenario that could significantly impact any potential transfer fee despite his €5.00m valuation.
Kinteh’s most recent outings for Tromsø in the Eliteserien have continued to attract data-led scouting attention, with his development being closely monitored by clubs tracking emerging talent rather than established stars. However, there are no confirmed figures, bids or advanced negotiations between Tromsø and Milan at this point.
With interest from a club of AC Milan’s stature now being reported, the next phase of Kinteh’s career could hinge on whether Tromsø seek to secure his long-term future or choose to capitalise on his growing reputation in the coming windows.
