Juventus ends pursuit of AC Milan midfielder Youssouf Fofana
Summary

Juventus has officially withdrawn from negotiations to sign Youssouf Fofana from AC Milan. The midfielder, identified as surplus to requirements by AC Milan manager Ruben Amorim, remains available for transfer. Juventus previously monitored the player’s availability after failing to secure Franck Kessie, who opted for a move to Atalanta. Despite initial interest in bolstering their midfield depth, the Turin club decided against formalizing a bid for Fofana. Juventus remains active in the transfer market to address squad needs before the window closes. Meanwhile, AC Milan continues its efforts to secure an exit for Fofana as part of a wider roster restructuring.
