Youssouf Fofana

In September 2026, a reported loan agreement with Olympique Lyonnais included a purchase option set at €12 million. Throughout August 2026, multiple reports consistently cited AC Milan's asking price as being between €15 million and €20 million, with one report mentioning a valuation as low as €13 million. A potential loan to Galatasaray was also reported to include a €20 million purchase option. Earlier, in January 2026, Milan's asking price was reportedly as high as €40 million, with Galatasaray linked to offers between €25-30 million and Fenerbahçe reportedly offering €20 million. At a peak in December 2024, Chelsea was reportedly prepared to offer €60 million. His completed transfer from AS Monaco to AC Milan in August 2024 was for a fee of €20 million.

Our valuation is driven by AC Milan's explicit desire to sell Youssouf Fofana, which has significantly lowered his market price from earlier highs. The most recent and consistent reports from summer 2026 place the club's asking price between €15 million and €20 million. A nearly completed loan deal with Lyon included a purchase option of just €12 million, establishing a firm floor for his value. This downward trend is a sharp contrast to valuations from early 2026 that were in the €30-40 million range.
