Sometimes they come back. Galatasaray is making a strong return for Youssouf Fofana after their failed attempt last January, when the Turkish club's board, composed of vice-president Abdullah Kavukçu and intermediary George Gardi, travelled to Milan to negotiate in person with both the player and Milan. The former Monaco player is a favourite of coach Okan Buruk, who wants to hand him the keys to the midfield for the next season.
Rich offer to the player:
Galatasaray has offered Youssouf Fofana a four-year contract with a salary of 5 million euros per year in an attempt to persuade the French midfielder to join Victor Osimhen and his teammates. That is a significant figure, which have been met with openness from his entourage, but not yet from the player himself, who remains of the view that he does not want to leave Milan to move to Turkey, where the league is certainly less competitive and prestigious compared to Serie A, as reported by Calcio Mercato.
What is AC Milan’s stance regarding Youssouf Fofana?
Fofana’s development as a central midfielder and his importance within the locker room are factors that Milan do not take lightly. However, the Rossoneri club’s position has been clear for several years: no one is untouchable when faced with truly unmissable offers. For Youssouf, the club wants more than 30 million euros; otherwise, he will stay under Allegri without any problem. The Rossoneri coach sees significant potential for growth in him and would not want to part with him lightly.
