Italian claim for Malick Fofana, who is also on Galatasaray's agenda

A new development has emerged from Italy regarding Malick Fofana, who is reportedly on the list of Galatasaray as they continue their search for reinforcements for the left-wing position during the summer transfer window. It has been reported that Roma has moved to the forefront in the transfer of the 21-year-old Belgian footballer, who plays for Lyon.

According to a report by Fabrizio Romano, Roma is continuing its contacts with both the Lyon management and the player's representatives for the Fofana transfer. It was stated that the young winger is also keen on playing for the Italian club.

It was noted that the final decision on the Roma side will be made after the completion of the deal being negotiated with Porto for Rodrigo Mora. For this reason, the process regarding the Fofana file is expected to become clear depending on the Italian club's other transfer plans.

It had previously been stated that Galatasaray had also inquired about Fofana's situation in recent days. Roma accelerating its efforts for the player, who is on the yellow-reds' transfer list, is considered a development that could change the course of the competition.

Fofana, who played 16 matches for Lyon last season, contributed 2 goals and 1 assist. The player's contract with his club will expire in the summer of 2028. According to Transfermarkt data, Fofana's market value is shown at the 30 million euro level.
