In a statement, Milan said that the Fofana "has signed a contract with the Rossoneri until 30 June 2028".
The seven-time European champions have reportedly agreed to pay Monaco 25 million euros ($27.6 million) to take Fofana across the border to Italy.
Fofana greeted his new supporters on Saturday night before Milan open their 2024/25 Serie A campaign against Torino at the San Siro.
The 25-year-old leaves Monaco after five years and an impressive most recent campaign in which the Principality outfit finished second in Ligue 1 behind Paris Saint-Germain.
Fofana has 21 international caps and made three appearances for France at Euro 2024, scoring a penalty in Les Bleus' shootout win over Portugal in the quarter-finals.
Milan, who hired Paulo Fonseca as coach in the close season, have also signed Spain striker Alvaro Morata and defenders Emerson Royal and Strahinja Pavlovic in the summer transfer window.
