French national team midfielder Youssouf Fofana joins AC Milan from AS Monaco

From red and white to red and black. Youssouf Fofana signed for AC Milan on Saturday, August 17, after four and a half seasons at AS Monaco. Having become a key player for the principality’s club when his midfield partner, Aurélien Tchouaméni, flew to Real Madrid in 2022, the former Strasbourg player has asserted himself to the point of wearing the captain’s armband a few times under Adi Hütter last year.

Didier Deschamps’ luxury joker in the midfield of the French team (21 caps, three goals) with which he played in the 2022 World Cup and Euro 2024, the 25-year-old player joins two other French internationals in Lombardy: Mike Maignan and Theo Hernandez. With Paulo Fonseca as coach, his mission will be to help the Rossoneri regain the Scudetto in Serie A, abandoned to Naples and rivals Inter over the last two seasons.
