There is a player in the current Milan squad who is attracting a lot of transfer market interest ahead of next summer. That name, perhaps somewhat unexpectedly, is Youssouf Fofana. The French midfielder, who joined Milan during the summer 2024 transfer window from Monaco, has several admirers from the Premier League as well as from Turkiye, and this is something to keep in mind over the coming months, as this is the time when several clubs start to move their pieces in a concrete way before entering the heart of negotiations, as relayed via Milan News.
Milan transfer market:
Fofana out to raise funds? It is now well known that player trading is a necessary practice within the Italian transfer market, and Milan, in this regard, has already demonstrated in the past that it is accustomed to using this economic lever to support incoming moves. Youssouf Fofana could be a sacrificial piece in the name of a policy to strengthen the squad, with Allegri wanting to see Leon Goretzka in the role of central midfielder to the right of Luka Modric. If interesting proposals come from England or Turkish clubs, it cannot be ruled out that they could be considered.
How much did Youssouf Fofana cost for AC Milan?
During the summer of 2024, Milan signed Youssouf Fofana from Monaco for 26 million euros (a figure recorded in the latest financial statement approved on 30 June 2025) and has already carried out the usual amortisation phases, with the annual instalment amounting to around 5.2 million. Therefore, at the end of the current season, the residual book value still to be amortised would be around 16 million. This is why an offer of a certain level could also have the positive effect of generating a capital gain.
