"Talks with Manchester United are ongoing and the Red Devils are ready to make an important offer in line with Monaco's wishes," says Sky's transfer expert Luca Cilli.
"Milan is, right now, far, far behind. If there are no unexpected surprises, Milan will have to look for other options for the midfield."
Milan's latest bid is said to have been €20m, while Monaco are demanding at least €25m for Fofana.
