Milan Ready to Join Fray to Sign Monaco Midfielder

Milan have started monitoring another qualify French midfielder, Youssouf Fofana, after reportedly setting sights on Khephren Thuram in recent days. He too is just entering his prime, as he’s 25, and his contract expires in 2025, La Gazzetta dello Sport informed.

The Rossoneri signed two players with just a year left on their deals last summer, Christian Pulisic and Samuel Chukwueze. They weren’t exactly cheap, but they exploited the situation to convince Chelsea and Villarreal to sell rather than take the risk.

Milan are searching for a more physical midfielder than those already in the squad, and Fofana would fit the bill. He’d be their most defensive-minded option. Their director Geoffrey Moncada knows him well as he worked at Monaco in the past.

The player was quizzed on the matter by Tuttomercatoweb, sidestepping it to focus on the matches.
