The French international has reportedly already said yes to a four-year contract at Milan but Monaco are a tough nut to crack. If the 25-year-old does go this summer, the report adds he is unlikely to be sold for anything less than the £17m ($22m) Juventus paid to sign Nice midfielder Khephren Thuram in July.

Fofana began his career at Strasbourg before moving to Monaco in 2020. Since then, the box-to-box midfielder – who is known for his strength, stamina and defensive capabilities – has scored seven goals in 175 appearances and accumulated 21 France caps along the way.
