Crystal Palace eyeing AC Milan midfielder Youssouf Fofana for transfer

Summary

Crystal Palace is pursuing Youssouf Fofana from AC Milan, as reported by Gazzetta dello Sport. With the departure of Daichi Kamada and concerns over Cheick Doucoure's fitness, the Eagles are looking to strengthen their midfield. Fofana, valued at €15 to €20 million, is a powerful box-to-box midfielder who excels in winning possession. Palace's new manager, Pierre Sage, may consider using him in a defensive role to improve his decision-making in the final third. If Fofana's transfer falls through, Palace is also interested in Mamadou Sangare from Lens.
