AC Milan ae ramping up their efforts to bolster their midfield during the summer transfer window, with two promising targets in their sights. According to recent reports from MilanNews, the Rossoneri are actively engaged in negotiations for both Youssouf Fofana and Manu Koné.
Fofana, currently with Monaco, remains Milan’s primary objective to address their need for a more defensively-minded presence in midfield. The club is preparing to submit an improved offer to Monaco in hopes of securing the French international’s services. Notably, Fofana has reportedly rebuffed interest from other clubs, expressing a strong desire to join Milan. This preference could prove crucial in negotiations, especially considering that Fofana could potentially sign a pre-contract agreement with Milan in six months, allowing him to join for free next season.
Simultaneously, Milan is exploring the possibility of acquiring Manu Koné from Borussia Mönchengladbach. The club has initiated contact with Koné’s representatives, rekindling an interest that dates back to his time at Toulouse three years ago. Geoffrey Moncada, a key figure in Milan’s recruitment strategy, is known to be an admirer of Koné’s talents.
These pursuits underscore Milan’s commitment to reinforcing their midfield, addressing vulnerabilities exposed in transition play during the previous season. As negotiations progress, the coming weeks will be crucial in determining whether Milan can successfully secure one or both of these promising midfielders to enhance their squad for the upcoming campaign.
