The Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) team is actively seeking French players to add to their squad, with Youssouf Fofana as a potential addition. With his contract with Monaco set to expire in 2025, the French midfielder has garnered significant interest in Paris.
PSG’s recent acquisitions of Randal Kolo Muani, Ousmane Dembélé, and Lucas Hernandez in the last summer transfer window signal their continued trend of recruiting French players. President Nasser Al-Khelaïfi believes it is crucial for the team’s supporters to connect with the players on the field, making the recruitment of players from the French national team a priority. Youssouf Fofana appears to be the next target on their list.
Reports from TuttoJuve indicate that PSG is one of the top three clubs competing to recruit the AS Monaco midfielder, whose contract with the club expires in June 2025. Juventus Turin and Manchester United are also expressing strong interest in the former Strasbourg midfielder. Fofana’s decision on his next club is imminent, pending an agreement with AS Monaco management.
Monaco’s asking price for Fofana has not been disclosed, but it is expected to be high due to the upcoming UEFA Euro championship, in which Fofana is likely to participate with the French national team. If the transfer fee falls below €30 million, negotiations with AS Monaco are unlikely, as the club hopes to capitalize on the player’s performances to drive up the bidding war. PSG is eagerly seeking to recruit another member of the French national team in the upcoming summer transfer window.
The competition for Youssouf Fofana’s services continues, with PSG, Juventus Turin, and Manchester United vying for the talented midfielder. As the battle intensifies, it remains to be seen which club will secure the sought-after French player.
