Folorunsho joins Monza on loan as Juric seeks midfield versatility

Michael Folorunsho, the 1998‑born midfielder, leaves Napoli for Monza on a season‑long loan. The move gives the Italian side a versatile option as coach Raffaele Juric plans to deploy him across the midfield, from mezzala to a more advanced role.

Juric's midfield options

Juric will have a new solution in the centre of the park. He can use Folorunsho as a mezzala, as a central midfielder or push him into a more attacking position. This flexibility aims to broaden Monza’s tactical choices.

Folorunsho's recent record

Last season the midfielder spent time on loan at Cagliari, where he made twenty‑seven appearances and scored two goals. His fantasy performance there registered an average of 5.88 points per game. The experience gave him regular Serie A minutes.

In the 2022/23 campaign with Bari in Serie B he reached his personal best, netting eight goals. The following Serie A season with Verona in 2023/24 saw him fail to exceed five goals. These figures illustrate his modest scoring output at the top level.

For fantasy managers rates Folorunsho at twenty‑two credits, positioning him as a viable fifth or sixth slot. In auction formats the recommendation is to allocate up to four per cent of the budget to him. The rating reflects his expected starting‑lineup chances and physical presence rather than goal tallies.

The Fantacampionato platform, promoted by , boasts sixty million fantasy managers competing in a single national ranking. Prize money exceeds three hundred and forty thousand euros. Participants can now select Folorunsho as part of their squads. The announcement appears on ’s platform, with the prompt ‘Scegli come fonte preferita su Google’. It also notes that Al Fantacampionato should not be seen as a primary pick but as a solid squad complement. Monza hopes the player will earn a regular place in the starting eleven.
