YOUSSOUF FOFANA has explained why he decided to snub a summer move to the Premier League.<\/p>\n
The Monaco midfielder has been linked with Manchester United in the past.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
While no concrete offer came from the Red Devils in the summer, Fofana did receive opportunities to move to Nottingham Forest or Fulham.<\/p>\n
Monaco were willing to accept a bid, only for Fofana to decline both potential switches.<\/p>\n
Explaining why, the 24-year-old pulled no punches, telling Canal Plus: "I want to go to a place where I can continue to be selected for France.<\/p>\n
"If you\u2019re choosing between Nottingham Forest, Fulham and AS Monaco, naturally, I\u2019m staying at Monaco."<\/p>\n
Fofana has earned 11 France caps to date and appeared in six of Les Bleus' seven matches at last year's World Cup, including the final.<\/p>\n The midfielder has started all seven of Monaco's matches this season, even captaining them in their recent clash with Nice.<\/p>\n Adi Hutter's side have had a dream start to the season and currently occupy top spot in Ligue 1.<\/p>\n On remaining at Monaco, Fofana added: "Sincerely, I was between staying and leaving.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n FREE BETS – BEST BETTING OFFERS AND BONUSES NEW CUSTOMERS<\/strong><\/p>\n "I\u2019ve always said I have no problem with staying, especially at a club like Monaco, who are always competing at the top.<\/p>\n "I have personal expectations and objectives. Maybe a departure wasn\u2019t the best thing for me.<\/p>\n "I am very, very happy to have stayed and to have this status in this team."<\/p>\n Fofana joined Monaco from Strasbourg in 2020.<\/p>\n The 6ft 1in ace has since made 147 appearances for Les Monegasques.<\/p>\n<\/picture>TRASH TALKING <\/span><\/p>\n
