Crystal Palace has prioritized signing Youssouf Fofana to strengthen its midfield for the new season. The London club's search is driven by the departure of Daichi Kamada, Cheick Doucouré's recurring injuries, and uncertainty surrounding Adam Wharton's future. Fofana, a 27-year-old French international, joined AC Milan in August 2024 for a fee reported to be €20 million and is contracted to the club until June 30, 2028. While his valuation is €23 million, it is reported that the Italian club is open to discussing a transfer for a sum between €15 million and €20 million. Beşiktaş has also been linked with the midfielder. If negotiations for Fofana fail, Crystal Palace is also monitoring Mamadou Sangaré of RC Lens as an alternative.
