AC Milan have received information that Galatasaray would be willing to spend around €30 million on Youssouf Fofana this month, but a deal will not happen.
In the past few days, there has been a lot said about Fofana and his future. Representatives from Turkey are in Italy currently to discuss a few players, and the Frenchman was listed as a name of interest.
However, the move was never given a chance to get off the ground. Within an hour of the story being reported, news broke that the midfielder had rejected the proposal, with the interest from Gala not being new.
That has not put them off, though. In fact, they are still trying to communicate their desire to the Rossoneri in the hope of a change.
Galatasaray’s offer
It is clear that they have money to spend on the deal, with the former Monaco man being offered a significant wage rise, and Matteo Moretto has provided some more information about their pursuit, MilanNews relays.
“Galatasaray called Milan for Fofana and were even willing to offer a fee of around €30 million for the Rossoneri midfielder. This official offer was never delivered because Galatasaray realised that Fofana was not open to leaving Milan at this time, midway through the season.
“Fofana said no to Galatasaray, but Galatasaray communicated to Milan their intention to try and make it known that they would be willing to go as high as €30 million, including bonuses: a very high figure. As of today, the deal is absolutely stalled because the player wants to stay at Milan.”
