Liverpool and Barcelona are reportedly in the race to sign Lyon winger Malick Fofana.
The 20-year-old moved to Lyon in the January window of 2024 from Gent and has made a big impact for the Ligue 1 side already. Back in July, it was suggested that Bayern were interested in signing the winger, who is valued at around £51.5m (€60m).
Fabrizio Romano claimed that Bayern had made contact to sign the attacker, and stated that he could become a ‘strong’ option for the Bavarian giants if they fail to sign Luis Díaz. However, the interest probably died down after Bayern signed Diaz from Liverpool.
Last month, Malick Fofana’s agent, Frederico Pena, said Fofana deserves to play for clubs like Liverpool, Manchester City or Bayern Munich. According to a report from Sport (print edition, page 15), both Liverpool and Barcelona are looking to bolster their left-wing areas and have earmarked Fofana as an option.
