The pursuit of Youssouf Fofana continues, with AC Milan striving to convince Monaco after reaching an agreement with the player. According to reports, the Rossoneri plan to increase their offer for the midfielder in the coming days.
Fofana has been a primary target for Milan since the season began, with the player himself expressing willingness to join. However, negotiations with Monaco have progressed slowly. With Fofana’s contract set to expire next summer, Milan is hoping to secure a discount on the transfer fee.
Monaco, however, are still demanding €35 million, as reported by Corriere dello Sport (via MilanNews). Milan is now preparing to raise their offer to €20 million, up from their previous offer of around €17 million, though it’s uncertain if this will suffice.
As the pre-season draws to a close, the timing of Fofana’s potential arrival is not ideal, marking a setback for Milan. Nonetheless, securing the deal at approximately €20 million would be considered a strong move.
Fofana remains keen on the transfer, but AC Milan’s Geoffrey Moncada has yet to leverage his connections with Monaco to finalize the deal in Milan’s favor.
