AC Milan has expressed its readiness to agree to the departure of French midfielder Youssouf Fofana at the end of the current season.

According to "La Gazzetta dello Sport," the 27-year-old player has attracted interest from Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur, with both clubs having made offers to his representatives, anticipating an official move in the coming period.

The report added that Milan bought the player for 25 million euros and hopes to recover the same amount during the summer transfer window, considering that the asking price is suitable for interested English clubs.

Aston Villa and Tottenham need to strengthen their midfield with players who possess greater physical strength and defensive solidity, qualities that Fofana exemplifies, as he excels in recovering the ball and stopping opponents' attacks.

The player possesses good experience and physical and technical abilities that qualify him for success in the English Premier League, making him a suitable option for either club.

Fofana's next destination remains open, with the ambitions of the two clubs differing; Aston Villa is aiming for European competition, while Tottenham is experiencing a different competitive phase in the Premier League.
