Adrien Rabiot is currently a free agent as Juventus are still unable to renew his contract. AC Milan remain interest. The Rossoneri, in fact, have other names besides the Frenchman on their shortlist as they continue to aim to strengthen Paulo Fonseca's midfield with muscle and quantity, qualities that were perhaps somewhat lacking in recent seasons.
Many names have been linked to the Milan team over the past few weeks, but the name at the top of the wish list remains Youssouf Fofana, as reported by the Italian newspaper Il Corriere dello Sport. The French midfielder is the closest to a move to the Rossoneri, although the gap with Monaco needs to be narrowed. The Monegasques are asking for 25 million euros for the class of '99, while Milan does not want to spend more than 18 million euros, also considering that Fofana's contract expires in a year. However, this issue could be resolved by the potential departure of Ismael Bennacer, who has a considerable market, especially in Saudi Arabia. We could, therefore, be looking at a true passing of the torch, as Fofana would not only inherit a starting position from the Algerian but also a salary of 4 million euros per season, most likely.
