‘A failure’ – Fulham deal not living up to expectations, player expected to move on in summer

Signed on loan this summer by Fulham from AC Milan, Fodé Ballo-Touré was very excited about his move to the Premier League.

The full-back was clearly intent on making his mark at Craven Cottage, but he hasn’t been given the chance to by Marco Silva.

Calciomercato have a look at the Senegal international’s situation at Fulham after a few months, as there appears to be some growing concern in Italy.

It’s immediately pointed out the 26-year-old has a grand total of zero minutes in the Premier League, with his only time in a white shirt coming in the League Cup, when he has featured for 159 minutes over two games.

So far, it’s clear the deal has been ‘a failure’, even if Fulham are paying for the entirety of his wages during the temporary spell.

There was hope that a good time in London could leave to AC Milan making a sale of around €3-4m for their player, but that doesn’t appear to be on the cards now.

Instead, the player ‘will return’ to Italy, leaving the Serie A side with the task of finding him a new landing spot, seeing as his contract on the other side of the Channel runs until 2025.
