Liverpool has been recommended as the destination for Youssouf Fofana, the latest midfielder rumored to be eyeing a move to the Premier League.
Monaco’s talented midfielder, Youssouf Fofana, seems poised for a move to the Premier League after receiving advice from former Arsenal and Chelsea star Cesc Fabregas to consider joining Liverpool.
Despite interest from Arsenal and Manchester United, Fofana has reportedly turned down United’s advances under former manager Erik ten Hag.
Monaco’s sporting director, Thiago Scruro, praised Fofana’s commitment to the club’s project and his decision to continue his development with Monaco.
However, with Fofana’s contract set to expire within a year, a move to the Premier League appears increasingly likely.
Fabregas, who mentors young talents at Monaco, believes Fofana would thrive under Liverpool’s playing style, despite the managerial change from Jurgen Klopp to Arne Slot.
As he prepares for Euro 2024, Fofana is expected to play a crucial role for France in the upcoming tournament in Germany.
However, when discussing his future plans, he suggested a likely departure from Monaco in the summer.
In a recent media briefing, Fofana disclosed: “I have had discussions about it with the club’s management, it’s not a secret.
We have had conversations, and they have agreed to support me in this next step. If [a transfer] doesn’t materialize, I still have a year remaining on my contract, and I would be content to stay.
We agreed to support each other in this process where everyone should benefit, whether it’s me or the club.”
