Youssouf Fofana has opened up to Milan: "I think Milan is truly a huge club. Everyone knows Milan and its trophy cabinet" declared the Monaco midfielder to the microphones of Milannews.it recently the game against Metz on Saturday. The player then continued by saying that, despite the rumors, he remains focused on his mission, which is to bring Monaco into the Champions League.
As explained by La Gazzetta dello Sport this morning, Milan is looking for a physical and defensive midfielder, and Fofana fits the bill perfectly. His contract expires in 2025, and he feels ready to take a step up in quality.
Monaco's initial asking price is 30 million euros, but with just a year left on his contract, it's unlikely that the French club will find a team willing to pay this amount, as relayed via Milan News.
Therefore, perhaps a deal for the 25-year-old player could be closed for 20 million euros plus bonuses.
Youssouf Fofana will be part of the France squad participating in this summer's European Championship, and coach Didier Deschamps historically asks his players to resolve major transfer matters before the start of major competitions.
That is why we could expect a decision regarding the future of the Monaco midfielder should be made between late May and the very beginning of June. Prior to that, however, Youssouf wants to finish the season on a high note and help his team qualify for the next Champions League.
