PSG could still recruit a French international playing in Ligue 1 next summer, in the person of Youssouf Fofana, who would strengthen Luis Enrique’s midfield.
After Lucas Hernandez, Ousmane Dembélé and Randal Kolo Muani last summer (for a total of 190 million euros), to the great joy of Kylian Mbappé, PSG could welcome another French international this summer. According to Foot MercatoLuis Campos, the Rouge et Bleu sports advisor in charge of recruitment, is targeting Youssouf Fofana among the potential midfielders to recruit during the off-season.
At 25 years old, he who is highly appreciated by Didier Deschamps (who gave him 17 caps for the French team), Fofana has a good chance of changing scenery since he is under contract until 2025 at AS Monaco . The player trained at RC Strasbourg arrived on the Rock in 2020, for 15 million euros. This native of Paris, who passed through Esperance Paris 19th, then Red Star and JA Drancy, is now estimated at 30 million euros.
Fofana better than Ugarte?
Youssouf Fofana is a high-quality midfielder, but he is not a hub like his former Monegasque friend Aurélien Tchouameni. However, he could strengthen Luis Enrique’s midfield alongside Vitinha and Warren Zaire-Emery, two leaders of the team upon recovery. Perhaps he will be more brilliant in the game than Manuel Ugarte, huge in recovery but a little limited technically.
The journalist Fabrizio Romano, perfectly informed about the transfer window, however specifies: “Several clubs continue to follow French midfielder Youssouf Fofana, who is at the end of his contract in Monaco in June 2025, but nothing has been advanced at the moment. PSG is not actively working on this avenue at the moment, the same for the Italian clubs. The situation remains open for the summer ». Start of the series.
