**Intermediaries have been in touch with AC Milan to let them know that a big offer is coming from Al-Ahli for Youssouf Fofana.**
According to [Calciomercato.com](https://www.calciomercato.com/liste/l-al-ahli-ci-prova-per-fofana-ma-l-operazione-resta-complicata-youssouf-e-un-titolare-per-allegri/bltf6685355748d0d25#csccbbf7dc0b74c909), the Saudi Pro League side want a high-level midfielder and – after having received the rejections of Manuel Locatelli and Denis Zakaria – they are trying for Fofana.
After raking in [**more than €200m in sales**](https://sempremilan.com/milan-jackpot-tare-past-200m-sales), Milan are working to complete Massimiliano Allegri’s team. The idea is to keep the 22 players currently in the squad, but the possibility of a big bid from the Middle East is one to pay attention to.
After trying for Locatelli and Zakaria, it is Al-Ahli that are targeting the French midfielder Fofana. As a reminder, he arrived from Monaco just 12 months ago for €20m plus €5m in bonuses after a long negotiation.
According to the report, several intermediaries have contacted AC Milan, promising that Al-Ahli will make an offer for Fofana. This offer is expected to exceed €25m, matching the fee offered to Monaco for Zakaria.
However, the former Juventus man turned down their approach, preferring to remain in France to play for Monaco. Al-Ahli are the reigning Asian champions, and are looking for a midfielder to partner with Franck Kessié, the former Milan star.
