AC Milanare is gearing up to make a third offer for Monaco’s midfielder Youssouf Fofana, as the player continues to show a strong preference for the Italian club despite interest from West Ham United.
Reports from Calciomercato journalist Daniele Longo suggest that while West Ham’s bid is closer to Monaco’s valuation, Fofana has not considered their approach. The French midfielder’s focus remains firmly on a potential move to Milan, with his representatives in constant communication with the Serie A giants.
Monaco has set an asking price of around €20 million for Fofana, but Milan’s previous offer fell short at €17 million. In an attempt to bridge this gap and advance negotiations, the Rossoneri are now contemplating a new strategy. This could involve offering Monaco a 10 percent stake in any future transfer fee for Fofana.
Despite West Ham’s financially superior offer, Fofana’s apparent disinterest has left the door open for Milan. The Italian club is now working on formulating an offer that will satisfy Monaco’s demands while aligning with their own financial constraints.
As negotiations continue, Fofana remains patient, awaiting the outcome of Milan’s efforts to secure his services. The coming days could prove crucial in determining whether the talented midfielder will be plying his trade in Serie A or if another suitor might emerge to challenge Milan’s pursuit.
