As reported by L'Equipe, Milan reportedly have their sights on 22-year-old Monaco midfielder Youssouf Fofana. With the departure of Meite, Milan will need help in the midfield position. The Rossoneri are completing the permanent transfer of Sandro Tonali, but the midfield will still need additional depth in the department. Maldini is looking for young and talented prospects that already have experience in competitive football. With Monaco finishing third in Ligue 1 last year with Fofana in a starting role, the midfielder has certainly proved himself as a quality footballer.
According to the well-known French magazine, Fofana is expected to stay in Monaco. The player does not wish to make a departure, and will have an opportunity to qualify for a Champions League bid for next season. Management is also happy with the player's growth and performance, and see him as a vital piece of the puzzle moving forward. Milan will certainly be in contacts with the French club, but Fofana could be well guarded by his management.
