Speaking exclusively to CaughtOffside for the latest edition of his Daily Briefing column, Romano discussed Fofana and Milan, stating his view that it looks like a smart signing as he can imagine the 25-year-old doing well in Serie A.
It seems Arsenal were never that advanced in their interest in Fofana, with the Gunners merely looking out for opportunities on the market this summer, and with Fofana being one of those due to his contract situation at Monaco.
Fofana is just a year away from being a free agent, meaning a sale this summer made sense for the Ligue 1 side, and it looks like Milan are going to win the race for his signature, with Arsenal never making an offer for the France international.

Fofana transfer: Arsenal never bid for Milan target, says Romano
“AC Milan have agreed terms with Monaco midfielder Youssouf Fofana, and now talks are ongoing between the clubs to reach an agreement. I’m aware there have been some reports and rumours about Arsenal, but I’ve never been aware of any talks, in all honesty,” Romano said.
