RB Leipzig ‘to consider’ Malick Fofana as Lyon face sales | OneFootball

According to BuLi News, RB Leipzig are again considering Malick Fofana before the window closes. The Lyon winger is understood to be open to a move.

The Saxony club are seen as a concrete option for the Belgian international. Lyon were eliminated in the playoffs by Fenerbahce and now depend on player sales.

Missing out on Champions League income could push decisions over the 21-year-old. With Sulenan Sani close to a switch to Saudi Arabia, Fofana is viewed as the leading replacement target.

A fee of €50 million has been discussed. Fofana produced two goals and one assist in 16 games last season.

Any deal would need Lyon’s approval before the deadline. Leipzig are monitoring the situation.
