# AC Milan Pursuing Two Midfielders in Transfer Window as reported by Antonio Vitiello of MilanNews.
**Youssouf Fofana as the Top Target**
Youssouf Fofana is Milan’s primary target to strengthen their midfield, particularly to address the defensive gaps exposed last season. Milan is preparing a new offer to persuade Monaco to release Fofana. Despite interest from other clubs, Fofana has rejected those advances, expressing a strong desire to join Milan. This could be a crucial factor, as he can sign a pre-contract agreement in six months, potentially joining Milan for free next season.
**Interest in Manu Koné**
In addition to Fofana, Milan is also eyeing Manu Koné from Borussia Monchengladbach. Although it is unclear if Koné is an alternative to Fofana, Milan has been in contact with his representatives. Koné is a player admired by Geoffrey Moncada, who previously attempted to sign him from Toulouse before his move to the Bundesliga.
