Youssouf Fofana’s future is destined to lie beyond the borders of Fontvieille.
The AS Monaco midfielder is now understood to be ‘100%’ set to depart the Ligue 1 outfit this summer, with a fresh challenge eyed.
Fabrizio Romano reports on X (formerly Twitter) that Premier Clubs ‘keep monitoring’ the 25-year-old ahead of the opening of the summer window on June 14.

It remains to be seen whether the Reds intend to bolster the No.6 position after having signed Wataru Endo from Stuttgart last summer to fill the space vacated by Fabinho.

Are Liverpool looking to sign Ederson this summer?
We know Arne Slot’s side is supposedly partly interested in Ederson and his qualities.
The 24-year-old enjoyed an impressive season with Atalanta in 2023/24, helping steer Gian Piero Gasperini’s side toward Europa League success.
However, as far as we’re aware, Liverpool have yet to post an official bid. We’re certainly not close to agreeing personal terms as reported elsewhere.
When comparing the Brazilian to Monaco’s Fofana, however, we’d also be inclined to argue the latter is a more appealing fit.
Only time will tell whether either are serious targets for new sporting director Richard Hughes and Co.
