Summer mercato 2024

[Sleeping Giant]

Fofana is hardly a Redondo. Mid 20s and still bouncing around in French league. 

None of the signings so far are moving the needle, just more of the same bland mediocrity.

Bro He is starter in France, and the amount of competition in French NT is intense, Not like Italian NT where even players like Folorunsho, Mazzochi, makes the cut to NT and player like Cristante make into starting 11.

Ya idk. Fofana could probably pick any club in the world to go and play at. In my opinion Milan is an attractive place for young superstars because we're competitive but there's room for him to be a crucial player here as oppose to clubs like Madrid. Not sure I'd ever put him in 'mediocrity' category lol

DS Monaco: "The negotiations for Fofana to Milan were slow but they are well advanced at this point. We will reach an agreement imminently as you can see Fofana is no longer training with the group. The market started late for us, we will try to replace him if an opportunity to improve the squad presents itself."

Seems a done deal anyhow. Fofana Reijnders and Bennacer who seems to have recovered his form finally seems like a damn amazing midfield. The work rates, energy and technical ability with those 3 will be very hard to overrun for any team.

Youssouf Fofana to AC Milan, here we go! Green light just arrived from AS Monaco also on payment terms.

€25m package add-ons included, four year contract plus option for further season.

No doubts since July: he only wanted AC Milan.

Travel and medical in next 24h.
So its done.

Given our haggling ability I am not worry about the deal, but the limited time for Fofana to adapt.

Anyway, good job, the management!!!

[Inas]

Phew!!! Finally [emoji2]

Fofana is smart for choosing us over MU. At 25 and as a regular for France NT, what he needs is a system that help him to be known at the top level of club football.

If the competitor is a club like Dortmund, I'm really worry, but not MU where is the graveyard of a world class DM like Casemiro.

Maybe he will leave us after 2+ years for money, as he is smart, but for now we can enjoy his service on the football field.

Midfield completeeee! And now is the time to offload some players

According to Di Marzio we're still working on Samardzic, Chiesa and Abraham.

Time to get rid of someone too, our squad is too big already before Fofana.

Idk how many people will agree but we also need a LB, someone who can rest Theo without causing hiccups in the game, i dont think Jimenez can handle that. 


Pobega and poor Adli should be offloaded.

I guess I meant quality.
What we need is arguable depending on how you think about it, replacing a departing CF with another is a need but we need more to improve. If Morata produces as much as as Giroud it is status quo, not improvement. Others not all that different.

Even if you talk about quality, you shouldn't compare players' peak time performance. Of course, Giroud and Kjaer were WC but they could barely run or stay fit at the end of the last season. Replacing them with Morata and Pavlovic certainly is a (huge) upgrade. 

It is not like Theo/Leao/Mike or even Kessie.
