AS Roma is still interested in 21-year-old Malick Fofana, a player the club has been monitoring since last season. Roma values his dynamic profile, which could enhance their left wing, and Olympique Lyonnais is requesting €30 million for him. This potential transfer is being considered as Lyon plans to sell either Fofana or Afonso Moreira to generate funds. Roma might have to sell players to be able to purchase their two targets from Ligue 1, one of whom is Fofana. The Belgian player was near a departure last summer but decided to stay because no project persuaded him. L'Equipe mentions that he also has a certain reputation in England. Fofana became a Lyon player in January 2024, and his contract is valid until 2028. His market value is currently listed as €30.00m by Transfermarkt. During the 2025/2026 Ligue 1 season, he has played in 12 matches, scored 2 goals, and provided 1 assist. He has also made 5 appearances for the Belgian national team, scoring one goal.
