the development of Youssouf Fofana after his proposals on the PSG
AS Monaco midfielder Youssouf Fofana took advantage of his presence at a press conference on Thursday to return to his highly commented words about his desire to join PSG one day.
A vice-world champion who evokes his attraction for PSG in the middle of the transfer window, necessarily, it makes noise. Saturday, in the program Quelle Epoque, on France 2, Youssouf Fofana did not hide his wish to wear, one day, the jersey of the Parisian club. “I come from here, so it would be normal to go back home,” said the midfielder of AS Monaco, denying himself however to make a call with his foot to the Parisians (“I said that I should dream because it’s my home but we’re in the world of football”). Obviously, it was enough for his remarks to be widely taken up in the media. A little too much for the taste of the player (and probably his club) who made an update this Thursday at a press conference.

“I never said it was a goal”
“It’s a moment of the show that was retained. It was a little decontextualized, nuanced Fofana. I was asked a question in a humorous tone. I tried to answer it. I think that It wasn’t well received. I said it was a dream, I never said it was a goal. I never said I wanted to ask to go. Since I was in Monaco, I have never shown my ambitions so improved. It is not in this program that I will start.”
Before rubbing shoulders with OM on Saturday evening (9 p.m.) on behalf of the 20th day of Ligue 1, the Monegasque may have talked too much and promises that he has learned the lesson well: “It happens, it will learn for next time”, it will end.
