AC Milan make official offer for defender
AC Milan have made an official offer for Wesley Fofana. The French defender of Saint-Etienne is one of Ligue 1 revelations this season.
AC Milan have been following Wesley Fofana for a long time. The 20-year-old Saint Etienne centre back is one of the most promising talents in France. The Rossoneri scouts have followed him on several Ligue 1 matches and have made very positive reports on him.
The French club extended the contract of Fofana from 2022 to 2024 in April but they could still sell him in the summer. Faced with an attractive offer, Saint Etienne would green light the transfer.
According to reports by journalist Mohamed Toubache on Twitter, AC Milan have made an official offer of 18 million euros for Wesley Fofana. Saint-Etienne have refused the Rossoneri’s proposal and value their starlet at 30 million.
The Rossoneri are willing to try again but will not go beyond a certain amount. Fofana is a talent with great qualities but he has only one season with the first team of Saint Etienne and therefore the transfer price cannot be excessive. This season the French defender has made 23 appearances scoring 2 goals.
Wesley Fofana is certainly attracted by the idea of joining AC Milan and Ralf Rangnick hopes to be able to sign the 19-year-old defender when the summer transfer window opens. Other important clubs have also set their sights on the player who is ready to evaluate any proposals he will receive.
