Several English clubs, including Nottingham Forest, have expressed interest in Malick Fofana to his entourage. He scored 5 goals and made 4 assists in 29 Ligue 1 matches this season. Fofana, who was bought by Olympique Lyonnais from La Gantoise for €19.5 million in January 2024 and is under contract until 2028, is considered one of the most valuable players in the Lyon squad. While Chelsea has initiated discussions with Lyon to explore the feasibility of a transfer, Nottingham Forest remains among the clubs interested in acquiring the Belgian winger.
