Fodé Ballo-Touré is looking for a new club ahead of the 2024-25 season and there are various teams in England that have expressed an interest, according to a report.
Ballo-Touré has returned to Milan after a season on loan at Fulham which did not go to plan, given he made just six appearances in the Premier League. He is not expected to stay though, given he is not a part of the plans of Paulo Fonseca.
According to Footmercato, Ballo-Toure found himself in the sights of Besiktas, who have been very active in this summer transfer window so. While an agreement has been reached between the Istanbul club and Milan, the player made it clear he does not wish to move to Turkey and has other plans.
Moreover, several English and Spanish clubs are interested in the 27-year-old player. Watford and Leeds in the Championship are closely monitoring the ex-Monaco man, while Sevilla and Celta Vigo are keen too.
The Rossoneri cannot expect to get a sizeable transfer fee from Ballo-Toure’s departure given they only paid a few million euros and the last couple of seasons have not gone to plan, however his exit would free wages too and a spot in the squad.
I’ll sell him to any of those for exactly 0€
Its astonishing to me that some players would rather just hide in the bushes and collect a paycheck rather than do what they love elsewhere.
If his ego doesn’t get in the way, I think both championship sides will be able to offer him 1st team football, living in England (with realistic promotion chances to the PL) and equal wages to his current salary.
Unlike Origi on €4mn net , who we may need to pay off, if the named clubs are actually interested then we can realistically expect to sell Ballo Toure for a small transfer fee (1-2mn) and be done with this saga
Why does he have an ego!!
You must be joking, I think he is a parasite and taking advantage due to some questionable management decisions as he s that looser Origi
The way the English pundits laughed at us for signing him, especially as Kloop praised him, we got played
Let him go for 500k or whatever to Watford or Leeds. If he wants the Premier League so much. But the reality is… at least he’s getting some interest. More than I Can say about Origi.
Ballo Toure and Origi… Maldini master class right there.
Cannot loan him anymore , he is on last year of his contract . I will sell him even if just 1m euro price tag
