Aston Villa are set to compete with Tottenham for the signing of AC Milan midfielder Youssouf Fofana. Fofana is a 27-year-old France international with 25 caps and 3 goals for his country. According to Transfermarkt, he has a current market value of €25.00m. The midfielder is expected to depart Milan this summer because of their interest in Leon Goretzka. Fofana joined the Italian club from AS Monaco in August 2024 for a reported fee of €20 million.
Both Villa and Spurs have reportedly submitted offers to the player's representatives, but Tottenham's proposal is contingent on them remaining in their league. This could potentially leave Unai Emery's team in a more advantageous position to secure a deal. In March and April 2026, Milan's asking price for the player was reported to exceed €30 million.
