At Casa Milan, they know that acquiring a physical midfielder to place in front of the defence is crucial, so they are beginning to explore other options due to the many difficulties in securing Fofana.
For this reason, as reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport this morning, the chances of signing Manu Koné, a 23-year-old midfielder from Borussia Monchengladbach who is currently competing in the Olympics with France and will play for the gold medal in the final against Spain tomorrow, are increasing.
Koné had been on Milan’s radar as early as 2021, but he ultimately chose to play in Germany. Now his name has resurfaced at the Rossoneri, and his price is in line with the parameters of the Milan club management: the French midfielder costs 15 million euros. The Rossoneri will therefore abandon the pursuit of Fofana in favour of Koné, as suggested by the report.
