After an inconsistent two years at AC Milan, midfielder Yousssouf Fofana could be on his way to Nottingham Forest or Crystal Palace. The midfielder had a good first season for the Rossoneri, despite their instability during that campaign. He also played in the Champions League, impressing in multiple games. That wasn’t the case last season, when the Frenchman struggled under Max Allegri. He was also in and out of the side, leading to Sport Witness covering interest from the Premier League. Player packing his bags Tuesday’s print edition of Gazzetta dello Sport explains Fofana has now removed every mention of Milan from his Instagram profile. This comes after Ruben Amorim excluded him from the squad for the recent friendly against Chelsea. It was the Portuguese manager’s way of communicating that the midfielder has to find a new club soon. As a result, Fofana is already packing his bags. Milan value the Frenchman at €15m, with Fofana having already received expressions of interest from Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace. Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace could become options for the France international. Villarreal have also made contact for his signature but the Spanish side are also having to wait for the player’s decision. Our take: Eagles may have a better chance Crystal Palace won the Conference League last season and will play in the Europa League next season. That would make them more attractive, plus. the London factor. Fofana’s stock has declined significantly, which is why there’s an opportunity to sign him. For either club it’s a chance to take a gamble on a 27-year-old who has been frozen out.
