MN: Sevilla will cover far more of Fofana’s salary than reported 8% – the real figure

Some clarification has arrived regarding the reports stating that AC Milan will pay almost all of Youssouf Fofana’s salary while out on loan.

Fabrizio Romano shed some more light on his WhatsApp channel regarding the operation that saw Fofana secure an exit right at the end of the window, and it’s fair to say that the deal looks rather desperate from the Rossoneri’s side.

“Youssouf Fofana operation: Sevilla’s communication about the deal with Milan on the occasion of his presentation. The Spanish club is paying 8% of the midfielder’s salary to Milan, while there is no payment of his salary. There is NO option to buy included in the deal. Fofana to Sevilla on a dry loan.”

New details have emerged regarding the deal that saw Fofana head to Sevilla at the end of most recent summer window. According to what MilanNews have learned, the Andalusian club will pay 40% of the French midfielder’s salary, not the 8% reported in recent hours in Spain.

This is an important aspect of the deal, considering Fofana moved to Spain on a dry loan with no fee and no option/obligation to buy. It will now be crucial for him to regain consistency after being excluded from Milan’s plans, something he had a dig about in his first press conference.
