Youssou Fofana arrived at La Madonnina clinic earlier this morning to undergo the medical tests. The midfielder landed in Milano last night and he should sign the contract this morning, provided all goes well with the medical.
The Fofana negotiations were long and tiring but Milan eventually managed to reach an agreement with Monaco. They will pay around €25m including bonuses and considering the French side’s initial demand of €35m, this has to be seen as positive.
This morning, as you can see in the video below, Fofana arrived at La Madonnina clinic to undergo his medical tests. He will sign his contract in the afternoon and then he will be at San Siro for the game between Milan and Torino.

The midfielder should get a very warm welcome from the fans and starting next week, he will be in training with his new teammates. This also means that we could see him in the game against Parma next week.
Welcome fofana.forza Milan
Very good.
Now, sell Thiaw, Adli, Ballo, Origi and raise up to 40M.
Get Chiesa.
Read Goretzka is available for around 30M, he will instantly raise our midfield level. But he earns double or triple of Leao’s salary, so I don’t know how we can pull that through.
But, Chiesa and Goretzka are top top professionals who will only make us better.
Not enough sale. We can only register 17 non-homegrown players to UEFA/Lega and currently we have 20.
GK (1) :
– Mike Maignan
CB (4) :
– Fikayo Tomori
– Strahinja Pavlovic
– Malick Thiaw
– Pierre Kalulu
RB (1) :
– Emerson Royal
LB (1) :
– Theo Hernandez
DM/CM/AM (6) :
– Tijjani Reijnders
– RLC
– Ismael Bennacer
– Yunus Musah
– Yacine Adli
– Youssouf Fofana
RW (2) :
– Samuel Chukwueze
– Christian Pulisic
LW (2) :
– Rafael Leao
– Alexis Saelemakers
CF (3) :
– Alvaro Morata
– Luka Jovic
– Noah Okafor
So we need to sell 3 non-homegrown players, plus Origi and Ballo Toure.
We can buy Chiesa no problem because he is homegrown, but if you want Goretzka we need to sell one more player.
Quite elaborate, thanks for this.
Didn’t really understand this rule and how works though.
Goretzka is just a wishful thinking though, I don’t see that coming through to be honest.
I think samardic from Udinese would be a add to balance our midfield. I think he’s more of a 10 than pulisic although I think pulisic is a great 10.
Chiesa would also be nice to have for depth and to give leao a bit of a competition cos I think Okafor isn’t doing that and not saying it his fault we just didn’t see much in that role.
Leao on the other hand had a very bad season and I think he should work more on improving himself in terms of helping the team defensively and also making a good final delivery. He has the pace and ability to cut into the box and have a go at the goal, I think he should work on that too his attitude after he losses the ball should improve. Salameakers has been impressive and I love his attitude and impact so far and I’d love us to keep him for depth.
Well, I do understand your sentiment though, but I would pick Chiesa over Samardzic if I were to make a gamble anyway.
You’re gonna lose a lot of money if you gambling like this. Chiesa is shadow of his former self, way too injury-prone, and is not worth the salary he demands, especially for a back up players. He just gonna make the team loses its balance because too many players in his position.
Maybe that’s why I don’t gamble my brother.
Is signing a player a gamble?
Ok, yeah, it’s a gamble. But signing Mbappe will be my surest bet.
Na make dem behead get Goretzka bruh chill abeg
