AC Milan continue to look for a striker to replace Olivier Giroud. However, another priority that is not overlooked is the midfielder. A new strong player who can play well in front of the defence must arrive in the summer.
According to what is reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport in this morning's print edition, the top name on the wish list is Youssouf Fofana from Monaco, the defensive midfielder of the France national team at the Euro competition.
The player in question is looking to leave his club this summer. His contract is set to expire in 2025, Youssouf Fofana is ready to take the next step in his career and leave Monaco during this transfer market.
As mentioned, the French national team midfielder is Milan's priority for that position, and it seems the same can be said for the player. He has reportedly turned down interest from the Premier League, specifically Arsenal, because he believes the Rossoneri project is ideal for the continuation of his career. This could significantly favor Milan in negotiations with Monaco, as the player's will is often decisive.
The arrival of Youssouf Fofana at Milan seems to be only a matter of time, especially since everything could be finalized after Euro2024. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Rossoneri management is ready with 25 million euros to offer Monaco for the player, with discussions of a three-year contract for the former Strasbourg talent.
