Malick Fofana ‘to join’ Sunderland as European window enters final hours | OneFootball

The summer transfer window across Europe closes today, with Malick Fofana’s future among the late storylines.

The 21-year-old Lyon winger should join Sunderland. According to The Athletic and L'Équipe, the Black Cats have offered around €30 million plus €5 million in add-ons. L'Équipe reports Lyon would also keep a sell-on percentage.

He had been linked with Arsenal on Monday before Sunderland became the likely destination.

France will be among the first to shut, at 19:59. Germany and Italy follow at 20:00.

In England, where clubs have set the pace in this window, the market closes at midnight French time, the same as in Spain.

Deadline day traditionally proves the liveliest, and several deals should be decided in the coming hours.
