AC Milan are expected to make multiple reinforcements this summer and after securing Alvaro Morata, work is now underway for Youssouf Fofana and others. As argued by Andrea Longoni, the Frenchman could be the most important signing.
Morata’s arrival was a necessary one following the departure of Olivier Giroud, and a deputy striker could also arrive this summer. One of the main priorities now, however, is the defensive midfield role with advanced talks ongoing with Monaco as we speak.
In his latest editorial for MilanNews, the well-known journalist Andrea Longoni spoke about the latest developments on the mercato. Above all, he labelled the potential arrival of Fofana as the ‘most important signing’ for Milan this summer, given the defensive struggles last season.
“The Frenchman, on paper, could be the most important signing. Not for his price tag, but because he can bring balance to the team and make it run as it should. The Serbian defender seems to have very interesting characteristics: he was chosen to be a starter alongside Tomori.
“For both, it must be said, there is the risk component. The settling-in factor, the leap to a big club, with a heavy shirt and different expectations: obstacles that for example someone like Morata will overcome without problems,” he stated.
It remains to be seen if an agreement will be reached between Mila n and Monaco, but the player has already said yes and the feeling is that this will make the difference.
