Overview

• Roc Nation executive Frederico Pena publicly said Fofana belongs at clubs like Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Manchester City.
• Reports say the winger is being offered to potential buyers, with Liverpool and Chelsea viewed as likely suitors though no formal bids are reported.
• The 20-year-old’s breakthrough at Lyon, cited at 11 goals and seven assists in 41 games last season, underpins the push for a step up.
• Lyon hold Fofana under contract through 2028, with recent reporting suggesting a valuation near £50 million that strengthens the club’s leverage.
• Liverpool boosted their attack in the summer, so any move would depend on priorities and availability, while Fofana’s camp targets the World Cup to elevate interest and fees.
