Italian media reports have unveiled an intriguing development at AC Milan, with the club’s new advisor, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, reportedly on the lookout for a successor to Algerian international Ismael Bennacer.
Ibrahimovic, who rejoined the Rossoneri in a management role, is said to be keen on injecting fresh energy into the team, starting from the upcoming summer transfer window.
According to insights from “Calcio Mercato,” Ibrahimovic is eyeing a midfielder with more physical prowess and defensive stability than Bennacer.
The Swedish football icon believes that such a player could better meet the needs of AC Milan’s midfield.
In pursuit of this objective, Ibrahimovic has reportedly identified Monaco’s Youssouf Fofana as a potential candidate.
Fofana’s robust playing style and versatility have caught Ibrahimovic’s attention, making him a prime target for AC Milan’s recruitment strategy.
Negotiations between AC Milan and Monaco are expected to commence soon, with both parties aiming to reach an agreement for Fofana’s transfer.
The deal is speculated to involve a transfer fee not exceeding €30 million.
