Without a doubt, there will be things to talk about on the last day of this summer transfer window on the OL side. The Rhone club is involved in numerous projects in parallel, mainly on the sales side, with Malick Fofana, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Nicolas Tagliafico. As for arrivals, OL hoped to complete this Tuesday, before 7:59 p.m., the arrivals of Youssouf Fofana, in the form of a loan, and Keito Nakamura, on transfer.
However, as you can follow just now, the Malick Fofana file is taking dramatic turns, with a player who hesitates and changes his mind between Sunderland and Crystal Palace. If the English transfer window is open until midnight, which still leaves a little time, this is not the case for the French market. Since the transfer of Malick Fofana has not been completed, this had an impact on the end of the Lyon transfer window.
One Fofana blocks the other
According to Sky ItaliaYoussouf Fofana’s loan thus fell through. “Despite the signings, Youssouf Fofana will not leave Milan for Lyon. The problem lies in the case of the other Fofana, Malick, who was supposed to join Sunderland, but negotiations broke down. The French club does not have the necessary funds to finalize the transfer. Therefore, Besiktas, who had already inquired today, could return to the forefront for the midfielder: the summer transfer window in Turkey is not yet over.writes the Italian media.
A terrible blow for OL, who had previously reached an agreement for the loan of Youssouf Fofana, with an option to buy. Besiktas was also very interested, with a good salary offer for the French international. And the regrettable consequence of a Malick Fofana case which drags on.
