Cesc Fabregas says Man Utd target Youssouf Fofana will not join the club
Cesc Fabregas says he heard that Youssouf Fofana who is wanted by Arsenal and Manchester United will not join any team and will sign for another team.
Monaco midfielder Fofana is expected to leave the club this summer as he enters the final year of his contract.
The 25-year-old is currently away with France in preparation for Euro 2024, and has established himself as a regular in the national team.
Fabregas says the Monaco star will not join Arsenal or Man Utd
Fofana was a key player for Monaco as they qualified for the Champions League after finishing second to Paris Saint Germain last season.
The Frenchman has made 175 appearances for Monaco since arriving from Strasbourg in 2020, but it looks like his time as head coach will come to an end this summer.
Premier League giants Arsenal and United are believed to be interested in the midfielder, but Fabregas, who played with Fofana at the end of his season, says he has heard the Frenchman will end up elsewhere this summer.
“I know him, I played with him,” Fabregas said on the BBC’s Planet Premier League podcast.
“The funny thing is that I have never heard of Man United, I heard that he will go to AC Milan because [Paulo] Fonseca will probably go there from France and they know each other, let’s see where he goes.
“But he is a lively and strong player, good at the ball, he is a modern player, aggressive, he knows how to jump, he faces the box and the box.
“I really like Fofana and I think he fits the style of the Premier League very well.”
It will be a busy summer for both clubs as Arsenal look for a striker and a left-back, while United are in the market to strengthen their defense and midfield following the departure of Raphael Varane and the uncertainty over Casemiro’s future.
