Gianluca Di Marzio reports that AS Roma is monitoring the situation of Youssouf Fofana, a 27-year-old French international, because the player's potential move to OL has not progressed. Several media outlets had previously indicated that OL was attempting to sign the AC Milan defensive midfielder, who has 25 caps for France, on a loan with an option to buy, and that Fofana had agreed to join the French club. However, negotiations between OL and AC Milan are currently not progressing due to the player's salary. Fofana's contract with Milan is valid until 2028, and his current Transfermarkt market value is €23.00m. In August 2026, AC Milan's asking price for the player was reportedly between €15 million and €20 million.
