In his prime years, he has been a regular starter this season (64.8% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 2.6 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Fofana.
Judged on this season alone, Fofana graded 35 — a strong campaign that ranks top 18% of the 39 central midfielders in the Serie A, on 2 goals, 3 assists and 2.598 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 44 → 35). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2023/24.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 67, 20th of 39 of the 39 central midfielders in the Serie A. At 27 Fofana is in his prime years, and a market index of 41.4 reflects that trajectory.
Past his 2023/24 peak — the recent trend is downward, so buyers are paying for what's left, not what was.
Output in context · AC Milan finished 5th of 20 · an upper-table side
2.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 10 clean sheets across 33 appearances. Behind an upper-table side (5th of 20) the side controls more games, so the defensive load is lighter — the value sits as much in composure and ball progression as in raw volume. Going forward he chipped in 2 goals and 3 assists — a useful bonus from the back.
Strengths
- Availability. On the pitch for 64.8% of available minutes — a dependable presence in the XI.
- Attacking threat. Chips in from deep: 0.2 goal involvements per 90, useful for a central midfielder.
- Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 91/100).
Watch points
- Few red flags. No obvious weaknesses in the current-season profile — consistency is the next test.
Outlook
With a Rating of 66.9, Fofana carries the 20th-highest potential of the central midfielders in the Serie A of 39. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (2.6 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). In the prime window — at or near peak market value, so the next two seasons are the ones to cash in or build around.
