Manchester United are in the race to sign Youssouf Fofana from Monaco Monaco have told Manchester United that they need to pay €35 million to sign Youssouf Fofana this summer, according to reports in Italy. After completing deals for Joshua Zirkzee and Leny Yoro this month, United are now looking to recruit a new central midfielder to add to Erik ten Hag’s squad ahead of the new Premier League season.

Monaco had initially demanded €18m for Youssouf Fofana However, following enquiries from both United and Atletico Madrid, Monaco have decided to nearly double his asking price to €35m . Fofana, who made three substitute appearances for France at Euro 2024, has just a year left on his contract with Monaco.
