Malick Fofana could be the next big name to leave Olympique Lyonnais. After Rayan Cherki’s move to Manchester City, the 20-year-old Belgian winger is now drawing serious interest from the Premier League.
Both Chelsea and Liverpool are in the race: Chelsea have already contacted Lyon directly, while Liverpool are speaking with the player’s agents. Fofana’s explosive style and potential make him a highly attractive target in England.
Nottingham Forest and Manchester United are also monitoring the situation, though their lack of European football could be a disadvantage.
Bidding War
Under contract until 2028, Fofana isn’t forcing a move but is open to stepping up in his career. Lyon are holding firm: no deal under €50 million, the same figure they got for Bradley Barcola.
The bidding war has begun.
