Fofana is central to Milan’s transfer market. But the parties remain distant

How central is Youssouf Fofana for the Milan market? And for the team? None of the Rossoneri players have his characteristics, much more similar to those of Kessie than Bennacer or Adli, but on the other hand there is Monaco’s intention to evaluate the midfielder as a vice-World Champion. Offer around 20 million, asking price much higher, and it is not an easy puzzle to solve, because the parties are quite distant. The player’s will is more than clear, he wants to come to Italy to play in one of the most established clubs in Europe.

Today or in July 2025, the dichotomy for now would seem to be this. But things risk changing in a year. Because if it is true that Fofana’s contract expires in twelve months, on the other hand, several clubs could enter in one season. It is difficult for Fofana to remain at Monaco, but as happened with Todibo with Juve, it is unthinkable that there could not also be moonlights that take Fofana further away.

Then from August 15th the transfer market changes, because everyone has to settle and closecome to terms with both promises and needs. Because if Milan does not find an agreement by that date, much will depend on what opportunities will arise.
