Juventus could make a move for two Milan players once they resolve their ongoing goalkeeper situation, with Youssouf Fofana and Fikayo Tomori reportedly on their radar.

According to Sportal , the Bianconeri have already made informal contact regarding Fofana, who is no longer considered central to Ruben Amorim’s plans at Milan.

The French midfielder is reportedly valued at just under €20 million, with Amorim keen to give Ardon Jashari a more prominent role. Juventus could face competition from clubs in both England and Spain, but their interest provides another potential destination for the Frenchman.

The English defender has a contract with Milan until 2027 and could reportedly be available for around €15m. His situation has become increasingly uncertain following the arrival of Mario Gila , which is viewed as another indication that Tomori is no longer a key part of Amorim’s plans.

Milan would reportedly prefer to sell the former Chelsea defender abroad rather than strengthen a direct Serie A rival. However, with concrete offers yet to arrive and his contract entering its final year, Juventus could see an opportunity to negotiate a favourable deal.

The Bianconeri are currently prioritising their goalkeeper search, but once that is resolved, the Turin-Milan transfer route could become significantly more active.

What happened

Juventus are exploring a potential double swoop on Serie A rivals AC Milan, targeting midfielder Youssouf Fofana and defender Fikayo Tomori. Fofana, a France international, has been a key figure in Milan's midfield since arriving from Monaco, while Tomori provides experience and pace at centre-back. The potential operation would represent a significant strengthening of Juventus's squad, though negotiations with Milan are expected to be complex given the rivalry between the two clubs.

Chance analysis

A potential double capture of Fofana and Tomori would significantly bolster Juventus's midfield and defensive options. Fofana would add energy, pressing, and ball-carrying ability to the Juventus engine room, while Tomori offers Premier League-proven pace and recovery defending at the back. For Milan, losing two starters would be a major blow to their squad depth and could force significant reinvestment. The story remains in early rumor stage and carries moderate confidence until concrete negotiations are reported.

Impact

If completed, Juventus would gain two experienced starters, strengthening midfield and defence; Milan would face a significant squad depletion requiring replacements.

AI Insight

Monitor for confirmation of Juventus's pursuit; if both deals progress, expect Juventus's defensive and midfield metrics to improve while Milan's could weaken in the short term.
