Milan wants to accelerate to secure an important move in midfield: discussions have started.
In the next summer transfer market the Rossoneri club will be busy strengthening every department and the fans have high expectations. We don’t need as many reinforcements as were taken a year ago, but the level needs to be raised and therefore someone capable of making a difference needs to be purchased.
The midfield is a sector that appeared a bit weak last season. A defensive midfielder who is physically strong and good at recovering balls would be useful. After the farewell of Franck Kessie, Milan did not place an important shot to replace the Ivorian in terms of characteristics. And also Sandro Tonali he was someone who gave a lot in the defensive phase. We will need to remedy the major shortcoming in the department.
Milan, coup in France: the latest news
There are several profiles on the management list and one of the favorites seems to be there Youssouf Fofana. The 25-year-old Frenchman has a contract that expires in June 2025 and can leave the Monk for a not very high price. He is an international and would represent an excellent coup for the Rossoneri midfielder.
The Corriere dello Sport explains that Fofana’s entourage had contacts with Milan. The technical director Geoffrey Moncada is working on this option to give the next coach a midfielder capable of giving greater balance to the team. In this season 35 appearances, 4 goals and 4 assists for the player. There is no possibility of renewal, he wants to try an experience in a more important club. A place like Milan can only be appreciated by him, even if there is no shortage of requests from other internationally renowned companies.
That might be enough 20 million euros to secure Fofana’s contract, who with a close contractual deadline will inevitably have a lower rating than he would normally have. Thiago Dark, general manager of Monaco, has already announced that he is ready to negotiate the sale of the midfielder. Obviously, the goal of the Monegasque club will be to earn as much as possible.
Fofana was bought in 2020 for 15 million, at the time he was playing for Strasbourg and was a promising young player. In recent years he has grown and also taken over the national team, he is part of coach Didier Deschamps’ squad for the 2024 European Championship. He can talk about Milan with his Rossoneri compatriots Mike Maignan, Theo Hernandez And Olivier Giroud…
