Malick Fofana's agent, Frederico Pena, stated to 'Het Laatste Nieuws' that he believes Liverpool, Bayern, and ManCity are the types of clubs where the 20-year-old Belgian winger belongs, expressing hope for a significant transfer next summer. Pena described Fofana as an exceptional talent who is slowly getting ready for a move and noted that his agency wants to guide players who can shine at the upcoming World Cup. In the previous transfer window, FC Bayern had reached a verbal agreement with Fofana before signing another player. A transfer did not materialize at that time, with Olympique Lyon reportedly demanding over €40 million and Pena explaining that Fofana felt very appreciated at his club and did not want to risk that. The player's contract with Lyon runs until June 30, 2028, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €30 million.
