AC Milan have confirmed the signing of Youssouf Fofana from Monaco, publishing an official statement on their website this afternoon. The Frenchman has thus become the fourth signing of the summer by the Rossoneri.
Fofana landed in Milano yesterday evening and this morning, he underwent the medical tests at the La Madonnina clinic. After completing these, as well as the athletic tests, he headed over to Casa Milan to sign the contract with Milan.
On their official website, Milan published a statement confirming the signing: “AC Milan is pleased to announce the signing of the permanent transfer of Youssouf Fofana from AS Monaco. The midfielder has signed a contract with the Rossoneri until 30 June 2028,” it read.
It’s believed that Milan will pay €25m including bonuses for Fofana’s services and that technical director Geoffrey Moncada was decisive in the negotiations. The midfielder has decided to wear the No.29 shirt, which was up for grabs following Lorenzo Colombo’s departure.
Fofana made 175 appearances for Monaco in all competitions, finding the back of the net seven times and assisting an additional 15 goals. He has also made 21 appearances for the French national team, scoring three goals in the process.
oh no, he didnt join Man Utd or West Ham like some people here wanted him to lmao
Forza, Fofana, welcome on board!
The much awaited time has arrived, Let’s go Milan….
Welcome!!!
Even though it was way longer than i expected but he eventually comes.
Hope he can be the new kessie, a profile we’ve been missing since scudetto season.
Welcome Fofana, now go and boss the sh*t out of that leaky midfield of ours.
Btw, just an observation, they don’t seem to post photo of player with the managers when officially signing the contract anymore.
The ones in the photo are the ones who want to take all the credit
Funny when it’s a tradition in many other clubs around the globe as well.
Oh well, another tradition down the drain I guess.
^ right here
Forward Milan
Good luck Yousuf. One suggestion- empty your pockets so you have the space to put Barella somewhere 😆🫡
Benvenuto Fofana, now can you get your shoes onto the field against Torino
It took a while but we persisted. Welcome to Milan! A much needed addition to midfield
BTW Ben Yedder is a free agent. He had 20 goals last season for Monaco. Just a thought. He’s 34 but has at least one or two seasons left.
Might be a good deputy for Morata, Monaco bought him for hefty 40 million.
Only issue I read is there were accusations against him last year. Not sure what happened with that.
Sempre Milan…welcome Fofona…let the games begin
Forza milan!
Welcome Fofana
Atleast man utd didnt steal another player from us…
Steal a player from us? What???
Fofana Welcome to ac milan
FORZA MILAN ⚫️🔴
