“AC Milan’s Transfer Masterstroke: Securing Youssouf Fofana to Elevate Midfield Prowess Without Breaking the Bank”.
AC Milan might be able to acquire a new starting midfielder for extremely little money.
Despite finishing second in the Serie A title race and four points ahead of Juventus, AC Milan was roughly 20 points behind Inter Milan. Due to multiple weaknesses in the team, RedBird Capital has a lot of work ahead of them in terms of investing in the team to close the gap with its formidable crosstown competitors.
While strengthening the back four will take up the most of Milan’s summer transfer window efforts, the Rossoneri may also need another elite midfield player to partner with Tijani Reijnders and Ismael Bennacer.
SportMediaset reports that AC Milan hopes to sign Youssouf Fofana, a star midfielder for Monaco, before the European Championships conclude on July 14. The source also claims that the Ligue 1 team is only willing to pay 20–25 million euros for the player. Naturally, Fofana’s ultimate cost will depend on how much other teams are prepared to pay for the defensive midfielder, 25, since Manchester United has also been connected to the player for a few summers.
Fofana averaged 2.2 combined dribbles completed, fouls drawn, and 3.1 combined tackles and interceptions per game last season in addition to his four goals and four assists. Fofana, who is about to hit his prime, is dominating the Monaco midfield and would be a great addition to Milan, providing superior all-around skill to Bennacer at the foundation of the midfield.
Milan is aware that having a solid midfield is essential for any team to win the Scudetto, and their opponents Inter have had the greatest midfield in the league for a few years. Although it’s unclear if Fofana’s price will stand at a steal of 25 million or even less, he could be a good, cheap addition for Milan to make this summer.
