The future of Malick Fofana at Olympique Lyonnais is uncertain. Coveted by many European clubs, such as Chelsea or Bayern Munich, the 20 -year -old player could indeed leave the Rhone club in the coming days and take the direction of the Premier League.
At the end of the meeting which opposed OL to Lens (0-1), the young right winger said that he did not close the door to a departure, two weeks before the end of the transfer window. “In football, anything can happen. If I stay, it will be happy to stay in Lyon. Here, we will see. It is not that I want to leave, but if we have a good opportunity, we will see ”,
he said.
Words that should not delight Lyon supporters. Indeed, a departure from the Belgian would be a great loss for the club, already very weakened during this summer transfer window. Especially since a Premier League club would be ready to go to the offensive to get attached to its services.
Liverpool very interested in Fofana's profile
James Wlliams, English journalist, indicates that Liverpool would be ready to relaunch the track leading to Malick Fofana in order to strengthen his workforce. For his part, the Belgian would not be insensitive to the interest of the Reds.
“Liverpool admires the winger for a long time, Arne Slot having underlined how much his team needed a versatile attacker from the departures of Darwin Nuñez and Luis Diaz this summer. Malick is aware of the interest of Liverpool; This is why he hopes for a first league transfer. Liverpool discussed his team this summer. During these discussions, the leaders expressed their interest in the player, telling him that they would study a possible transaction ”, Can we read in the article published on Substack by the independent journalist.
In financial difficulty, Olympique Lyonnais would find it difficult to oppose a departure from its attacker, valued at forty million euros. As a reminder, Malick Fofana is under contract until 2028 with the Rhone club.
