AC Milan has made a significant move in the transfer market by securing the services of French midfielder Youssouf Fofana from AS Monaco. The 25-year-old has signed a four-year deal with the Serie A giants, bolstering their midfield ahead of the upcoming season.
While the official transfer fee has not been disclosed, Italian media reports suggest that Milan will pay around 25 million euros, including potential bonuses, for the highly-rated midfielder. Fofana has already established himself as a key player for both club and country, having earned 21 caps for the French national team, scoring three goals in the process.
The acquisition of Fofana comes after Milan had already made several notable signings this summer, including striker Alvaro Morata and defenders Emerson Royal and Strahinja Pavlovic. The addition of the French international likely signals the end of manager Paulo Fonseca’s transfer activity in this window, as he confirmed on Friday that no further signings are planned.
Fofana was reportedly a target for other top clubs, including West Ham United and Manchester United, but ultimately chose to join the Rossoneri. His arrival will provide Milan with another experienced and talented option in midfield as they look to challenge for the Serie A title and make a strong impression in European competitions.
Milan kick off their Serie A campaign at home against Torino on Saturday, eager to begin their season on a positive note with their new additions integrated into the squad.
