Milan signs midfielder Fofana from Monaco
AC Milan has signed France international Youssouf Fofana from Monaco on a four-year deal, bolstering its midfield for the new Serie A campaign.
The transfer fee was not disclosed by the club but Italian media said Milan would pay around €25 million ($41.3 million), including bonuses, for the 25-year-old.
Fofana has played 21 matches for his national team, scoring three goals. He was reportedly also a target for West Ham United and Manchester United.
The acquisition of Fofana is likely to be Milan's final signing in its first transfer window under new head coach Paulo Fonseca, who said that no additional transfers were in the offing.
Milan has already secured the signings of striker Alvaro Morata and defenders Emerson Royal and Strahinja Pavlovic.
