The future of Malick Fofana could be written away from Lyon. Recruited in January 2024, the Belgian winger already stirs up lusts after promising months in the OL jersey. But in full financial turmoil, the Rhone club could be forced to sell one of its most profitable young assets, however under contract until June 2028.
According to information from Foot transfer windowOlympique de Marseille would have recently inquired about the situation of the Belgian international. The Marseille club would have contacted the feasibility of a transfer, the amount of which could be around 30 million euros. A substantial sum but which could also cool the Marseille ardors.
Because competition promises to be tough. Several major European clubs, including Liverpool, would also follow the file closely. In this context, OM appears as an ambitious outsider, but possibly limited by its means in the face of such heavy goods vehicles.
Fofana too expensive for OM?
Moreover, the rumor already seems compromised according to certain observers. On social networks, journalist Hugo Guillemet, well informed about Lyon's news, reacted with irony to the possibility of a transfer to Marseille: “Yes, and if it fails, they take Lamine Yamal normally”he launched on X.
A subtle way of saying that Fofana is probably out of reach for the Olympian club this summer. Unless a big blow, OM will therefore probably have to turn to other profiles to strengthen its attack.
