Youssouf Fofana is a man in demand, with the Liverpool and Chelsea-linked midfielder not closing the door on a summer transfer away from Monaco.
The 24-year-old has seen his stock soar since moving to Stade Louis II in 2020, with senior international recognition coming his way immediately prior to the 2022 World Cup. Fofana figured for Les Bleus in Qatar, including stepping off the bench in an epic final showdown with Lionel Messi and Argentina, and has continued to catch the eye at club level. He is now seeing a big-money switch to the Premier League speculated on, but continues to give little away when it comes to his future plans.
Quizzed on the links to the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea, Fofana has said in the Evening Standard: “Monaco is a great club in France and Europe. A lot of big clubs come here to find players and we are all aware of this. If it is the right opportunity or moment [to leave], I can’t say. I don’t know but we are doing things the right way here at the moment. I have already played with top players but if one day I can play with more big names then it will be a pleasure and mean I have performed well.”
