Udinese would earn
With the exception of the extension of Kylian Mbappé (22), Paris Saint-Germain is relatively quiet on the transfer market this summer. On the access side, there is only one deal with Nuno Mendes (20), whose purchase option was drawn for 38 million euros, with Marcin Bulka (22, for 2 million euros to OGC Nice) and Ángel Di María (34) and Alexandre Letellier (31, both destination unknown) of the three on the exit side. According to the French daily “L’Equipe” The French champions are now getting serious about RC Lens’s Seko Fofana.

The 27-year-old Ivorian is therefore at the top of the list for the Parisians, who want to develop more momentum in central midfield. As a box-to-box player, Fofana fits this profile exactly and is therefore the player of choice for the new sporting director Luís Campos. The first talks have already been held with Lens, the seventh in the table, where the right-footed player is still under contract until 2024, is demanding between 30 and 40 million euros as a transfer fee – i.e. an amount above market value. Fofana had more than doubled this last season and increased it from 12 to 25 million euros.

Udinese Calcio make money – Arsenal and Newcastle are also close to Fofana
Regardless of the size of the fee, it is already clear that Udinese Calcio would earn a lot from a sale. The Serie A club had sold the midfielder to Lens in the summer of 2020 for EUR 8.5 million, securing a ten percent stake in the next transfer.
As captain, Fofana played a major role in the northern French team achieving their best Ligue 1 result in 20 years this season with seventh place and 62 points. In a total of 40 games, the four-time national player scored ten times and set up two goals. In addition to PSG, Premier League clubs such as Arsenal FC and Newcastle United are said to be interested.
