AC Milan are reportedly prepared to sell 27-year-old French defensive midfielder, Youssouf Fofana, in the summer transfer window.
Chelsea wanted to sign Youssouf Fofana last summer, and it will be interesting to see if they decide to return for him. According to a report by Italian outlet Calciomercato, the French midfielder will be available for €30 million at the end of the season.
Chelsea certainly have the financial muscle to get the deal done, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops. The Blues could use more quality and depth in the middle of the park, and the French international could be useful for them.
The 27-year-old is at the peak of his career, and this could be an interesting opportunity. Youssouf Fofana will want to test himself at the highest level, and the move to the Premier League will be hard to turn down.
Fofana could fancy a move
Chelsea are one of the best clubs in the world, and the opportunity to join them will be exciting for Youssouf Fofana. He will look to make an immediate impact in English football if the move goes through. The €30 million asking price is reasonable for a player of his quality.
Fofana could provide cover to Moises Caicedo, who has been a regular starter for Chelsea. The Blues need more depth in that area of the pitch, and signing the French midfielder would be ideal for them. However, the West London outfit have also shown interest in other midfielders, including Aleksandar Stankovic.
Chelsea will be looking to get back to the top of English football. They need quality players to compete regularly with elite clubs. Adding more depth and quality in the middle of the park would be ideal. They should also look to invest in the attacking unit.
The Blues need a reliable striker who can score regularly. Chelsea are one of the biggest clubs in the world, and they should be fighting for trophies regularly. It remains to be seen whether they can bring in the right addition during the summer window. It will be interesting to see if they come forward with an official offer to sign Youssouf Fofana in the summer.
