Atletico Madrid are exploring the possibility of signing AC Milan target Youssouf Fofana who currently plays for AS Monaco.
As reported by Matteo Moretto on the Relevo Twitch channel (via Milan Zone), the Spanish side think that Fofana could be a smart addition to their squad and are exploring the possibility of getting the deal done.
Fofana only has one year left on his contract which means that Monaco are only asking for around €25m for the Frenchman’s services, despite him undoubtedly being worth more money than that.
Atletico Madrid have contacted the player’s entourage to see if he would have any interest in joining the La Liga side, but they are yet to try and strike a deal with Monaco themselves.
He is not the only name that they are considering a move for when it comes to bolstering the midfield, so Milan are still in a better position to sign Fofana given they have already agreed on personal terms with him.
The expectation is that Milan need to raise their bid by €4-5m in order for Monaco to let the move go ahead, and then Milan can focus on other positions where a signing is needed such as right-back and centre-back.
