The transfer window across Europe’s top five leagues closes on Tuesday night and Lyon could yet be busy. According to Le Progres, Malick Fofana’s exit, possibly to Arsenal, may have moved forward on Monday, while a loan for the international midfielder Youssouf Fofana from Milan has been mooted.
Respectively director of sport and head of recruitment, Mathieu Louis-Jean and Benjamin Charier are preparing to wrap up their summer’s work by 19:59 on Tuesday when the French window shuts, though they will stay alert.
The market keeps running elsewhere, with England and Spain open until midnight.
The Netherlands close on two September, Belgium on three September, and Portugal and Türkiye on four September.
Brazil remains open until 11 September and Saudi Arabia until 12 September, which could yet influence Lyon’s late business.
