OL, in financial difficulty, will have to sell several players in January to get back on track and avoid relegation. One of them should be Malick Fofana, keenly followed by three Premier League clubs.
The situation at Olympique Lyonnais is not great. The club owned by American John Textor is struggling with financial difficulties and will have to sell a few players in January to get back on track and avoid administrative relegation.
Lyon will therefore have to deal with the means at hand, and probably young people from the training center, to finish the season. Les Gones, fourth, should avoid sporting relegation, even in the event of a catastrophic year 2025.
This situation therefore means that it is the players with the highest market value who will be sold, and that Malick Fofana is one of them. The 19-year-old Red Devil is expected to land a high-profile transfer in a few weeks. And there is no lack of interest, since Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal are mentioned with insistence.
The English media CaughtOffside, among others, reports that the three English powers have already made a first offer, valued at 20 million euros. The reference site Transfermarkt estimates the value of the former Gant player at 15 million euros, but Lyon will be tough in business.
According to French media, Lyon will not enter into serious discussions before an offer of 30 million euros. The English see a lot of potential in Malick Fofana’s game, but will they take out the checkbook? The next few weeks will be decisive… and so will Fofana’s performances until January.
