With Sandro Tonali now on his way to Newcastle United, AC Milan must look to rebuild the midfield department which was already battling Ismael Bennacer’s injury.
According to Corriere dello Sport (via MilanNews), Milan are interested in signing Seko Fofana and have reignited a pursuit that started back when he was playing for Udinese a few seasons ago.
The 28-year-old midfielder is the captain of RC Lens and he has been close to joining the Rossoneri on a couple of occasions in recent years but in the end it never materialised.
Now that Milan are looking for midfielders with quality and personality, they are back in for Fofana. RC Lens – who finished second in Ligue 1 – have set an asking price of €35m.
The Ivory Coast international amassed nine goals and six assists in 39 appearances across all competitions for Lens last season, and he is a big part of the reason they have secured Champions League football.
