Malick Fofana

Recent reports from late 2025 consistently value Malick Fofana around €50 million, with Lyon's asking price frequently cited between €50 million and €60 million. During the summer 2025 window, a deal was reportedly agreed between Lyon and Nottingham Forest for €50 million, though the player rejected the move. Everton also reportedly offered over €40 million, which was also turned down by the player. Earlier in 2025, valuations ranged from €40 million up to a potential €70 million in a bidding war scenario. These figures mark a significant increase from late 2024, when he was valued at €30-35 million. His last completed transfer was from KAA Gent to Lyon in January 2024 for a reported €17 million.

Our valuation for Malick Fofana is driven by Olympique Lyonnais' consistent asking price of €50-60 million throughout 2025. This is strongly supported by multiple reports of concrete offers and agreed deals in that range, such as a €50 million fee agreed with Nottingham Forest and offers over €40 million from Everton, which the player himself rejected in pursuit of a top-tier club. The widespread, sustained interest from numerous Champions League-level clubs further solidifies this high valuation, reflecting his rapid appreciation since his €17 million transfer in January 2024.
