Vesper 31,037 Posted July 2, 2025 Share Posted July 2, 2025 Lyon set asking price for Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea target Malick Fofana https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/02/lyon-set-asking-price-arsenal-liverpool-Chelsea-target-malick-fofana-23564711/ Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea are just three of the many clubs interested in Lyon winger Malick Fofana and the French club have named their price. The 20-year-old moved to Lyon from Gent in January 2024 and has been a regular in the side since. The Belgium international scored 11 times in his first full season with Lyon and established himself as one of the brightest young talents in Europe. Alongside the Gunners, Reds and Blues, Nottingham Forest and Fulham have also expressed an interest, although will do very well to win the race for the winger. German champions Bayern Munich, Italian champions Napoli and RB Leipzig are also reportedly keen. The Independent reports that Lyon are asking for £51.5m for his services this summer, but given the level of interest in him they are hoping this lofty price could rise still higher. The report suggests that the interested clubs have already made contact, while transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reports that Nottingham Forest have got as far as agreeing a deal with Lyon. Clearly that suggests that Forest are in a good position in the battle to sign the Belgian, but there has been no agreement between the City Ground side and the player. With much bigger clubs tracking him, Fofana is believed to be waiting to see what other offers come in and hoping for a Champions League club to make the move. Lyon would rather not lose one of their best players, but they do need to raise funds due to the financial crisis at the club and will be happy to sell for a big offer.

Thor 2,817 Posted July 3, 2025 Share Posted July 3, 2025 Malick is a beast whenever I have watched him play. I think he is going to be a hell of a player, more so than he already is. Two footed, quick, can take players on - and I'm super impressed with his decision making/finishing in front of goal. He has that elite quality that very few players have choosing the right type of shot and power nearly every time he shoots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
