What happened. Milan have finalised an agreement to send Youssouf Fofana to Lyon on a season-long loan with an option to buy for €12m, despite interest from Besiktas and Galatasaray.

Fofana was not part of new coach Ruben Amorim's plans.
The deal is a €2m paid loan with option to buy in June 2027.
RMC Sport, Sky Sport Italia, and Sportitalia confirm the handshake.

Fofana will return to Ligue 1, where he previously played for Monaco and Strasbourg.
