Hold on Ligue 1 after being heard by the DNCG appeal committee, Lyon cannot let go of the transfers market. The finances of the Rhone club remaining closely monitored, no recruitment will be possible as long as there is no new big sale. But the situation could quickly evolve.
Since the opening of the summer transfer window, the Gones have managed to bail out the boxes up to 56.7 million euros. An envelope released mainly thanks to Rayan Cherki, who left for Manchester City for 36.5 million euros, and Said Benrahma, bought 12 million euros by the Neom SC. What will be the next player to leave the Gones?
For several days, a departure from Malick Fofana has been evoked insistently. And if OM was one of the destinations envisaged, it is rather in England that the Belgian international (20 years old) could land. According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Liverpool would hold the rope to welcome the left winger, who arrived in the capital of Gaul last year.
A big check in sight for OL
To move forward on this file, the Reds would wait until Federico Chiesa returns to Serie A where, according to Foot transfer windowAS Roma, Atalanta, Bologna and Fiorentina would have positioned themselves. A departure from the Italian striker would release a place in the workforce of Arne Slot and Malick Fofana would then be the privileged option by the champions of England in title.
This sale could do the greatest good at Olympique Lyonnais. A year after its signature, coming from the Gantoise club, the market value of the young Red Devil is estimated by the Specialized Site Transfermarkt at 30 million euros. In Liverpool, he would face strong competition, the LFC having enlisted Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike.
