AC Milan on their website have officially announced the permanent signing of Fodé Ballo-Touré from AS Monaco. The defender has signed a contract with the Rossoneri until 30 June 2025 and will be wearing the number 5 jersey.

Fodé spent his youth career with Paris Saint-Germain, before moving to LOSC Lille in 2017, with whom he made his Ligue 1 debut and where he made 47 appearances in one and a half seasons. In January 2019, he moved to AS Monaco, with whom he played 74 games. Fodé collected 8 caps with the France U21 team, where he played the 2019 UEFA European Under-21 Championship. Fodé decided to play for the Senegal National team where he made his debut in March 2021 and has since collected 4 caps.

As reported by Fabrizio Romano, the deal is 4 million euros up front and potentially 500k more in bonuses for the left back.
