Fofana Shines at Sevilla, Manchester United Takes Notice

October 6, 2026Pablo Navarro1 мин

Youssouf Fofana, the French midfielder loaned by Milan to Sevilla last summer, is making a significant impact in Spain. His performances have captured the attention of several clubs, most notably Manchester United, who have reportedly sent scouts to watch him play.

Sevilla is keen to keep Fofana, who has quickly become a vital part of their midfield, proving his versatility. However, the financial arrangement makes a permanent move complex. Sevilla currently covers only 8% of Fofana's salary, with Milan shouldering the remaining 92%. This arrangement is unlikely to continue for a permanent transfer.

This situation opens the door for clubs like Manchester United, whose financial power far exceeds Sevilla's. If Manchester United decides to pursue Fofana, Sevilla would face significant challenges in competing for his signature.

Juventus might also consider Fofana if they decide to strengthen their midfield. While no concrete talks are reported, his profile—possessing physicality, stamina, international experience, and the ability to play multiple midfield roles—could be attractive. He also has a proven track record in Serie A, eliminating the need for an adaptation period.

Fofana's market value, previously estimated by Milan between 15 and 20 million euros, could increase with his strong performances in Spain. Manchester United's potential interest could prevent him from becoming a bargain signing. For Juventus, Fofana remains a player to monitor, especially if Milan decides to sell and the price remains within the 15-20 million euro range, offering a good balance of experience, quality, and cost.
