AC Milan is intensifying its efforts to strengthen the midfield ahead of the new season, with Youssouf Fofana and Manu Koné as key targets.
Reports from MilanNews indicate that the club is preparing a new bid for Fofana, who currently plays for Monaco. Fofana, a French international known for his defensive prowess, has expressed a strong desire to join Milan, even turning down offers from other clubs.

His commitment to Milan could play a significant role in the negotiations, especially since he can sign a pre-contract in six months, potentially allowing Milan to acquire him for free next season.
In addition to Fofana, Milan is also pursuing Manu Koné from Borussia Mönchengladbach. The club has rekindled its interest in Koné, which began during his time at Toulouse three years ago.
Milan’s chief scout, Geoffrey Moncada, is particularly keen on Koné’s abilities. These moves reflect Milan’s dedication to addressing the midfield weaknesses that were evident last season. The upcoming weeks will be critical as Milan looks to secure these talents and enhance their squad for the challenges ahead.
