Youssouf Fofana

Youssouf Fofana of Sevilla was born in Paris, France on 10 January 1999 (age 27).

Youssouf Fofana (born 10 January 1999, age 27) is a French central defensive midfielder with Sevilla, where he wears number 24. His current market value is around £19.5m, according to Transfermarkt.

The weight of his career sits firmly with Monaco. Across five seasons there, Fofana made 143 league appearances and scored six league goals, becoming a regular presence in midfield rather than a passing squad name. His most productive campaign came in 2023-24, when he scored four times in 32 league appearances.

He has since moved on to Sevilla, where the early part of 2026-27 has brought four LaLiga appearances and one goal. It is still a career shaped chiefly by that long Monaco spell, with Sevilla now the next stage rather than the main story.
