Manchester United in Talks to Sign Monaco’s Youssouf Fofana
Manchester United are currently in discussions with AS Monaco regarding the acquisition of Youssouf Fofana, according to reports from Sky Sports.
The English club is assessing the feasibility of signing the 25-year-old midfielder, who is entering the final year of his contract with the Ligue 1 team.
Since joining Monaco in 2020, Fofana has made 175 appearances and scored seven goals. United are exploring various midfield targets as part of their transfer strategy.
Other players under consideration include Richard Rios from Palmeiras, Sander Berge of Burnley, Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad, and Sofyan Amrabat, who was on loan with the club last season from Fiorentina.
Additionally, Manchester United continues to monitor the situation of Manuel Ugarte from Paris Saint-Germain, though they are currently deterred by the high transfer fees being demanded.
Al-Nassr coach Stefano Pioli has revealed why captain Cristiano Ronaldo missed their Saudi Pro League match against Al-Taawoun on Friday. Ronaldo was sidelined due to a cold as Al-Nassr settled for a 1-1 draw at home. Otávio and R. Martínez scored to earn a point for both teams at Al-Awwal Park.
After the game, Pioli explained that Ronaldo’s absence was health-related. Al-Nassr currently sit fourth in the league with 64 points from 32 matches, having already missed out on the title after Al-Ittihad were crowned champions. Their next fixture is against Al-Khaleej on Wednesday.
Atalanta’s star winger Ademola Lookman has been nominated for the Serie A Player of the Month award for May. He’s up against five other top players including Riccardo Orsoloni from Bologna, Juventus’ Khenphren Thuram, Napoli’s Scott McTominay, AS Roma’s Manu Kone, and AC Milan’s Santiago Gimenez.
Lookman broke his six-game scoring drought by finding the net in Atalanta’s 2-1 victory over AS Roma on Monday. This season, the 27-year-old has made a huge impact with 15 goals and five assists in 30 league games.
Ademola Lookman has once again earned a spot in the Serie A Team of the Season, marking his second time in a row making the prestigious list. The 27-year-old was a key figure for Gian Piero Gasperini’s Atalanta side throughout the 2024/25 season, putting in several standout performances.
He racked up an impressive 20 goal contributions, netting 15 goals and providing five assists in 30 league matches. His teammate, Mateo Retegui, also made the cut. With transfer talks heating up, the exciting winger is expected to part ways with Atalanta when the season wraps up.
