AC Milan player transfer speculation

Entities: Ruben Amorim · Youssouf Fofana · Mike Maignan · AC Milan

Overview

In mid‑July 2026 AC Milan announced that midfielder Youssouf Fofana, signed for nearly €30 million in 2024, does not fit new coach Rúben Amorim’s 3‑4‑2‑1 system. The club said it would consider offers between €20 million and €25 million, hoping to recoup part of the fee and reshape the midfield.

A week later, both goalkeeper Mike Maignan and Fofana erased all content from their Instagram accounts, with Maignan also removing the “player of Milan” bio line. The coordinated wipes have been interpreted as a sign that both players may be seeking moves away from the club—Maignan despite a contract through 2031 after a missed Champions League qualification, and Fofana, whose deal runs until 2028 and remains peripheral to Amorim’s plans.
