Lyon winger Malick Fofana’s representatives revealed the 20-year-old standout “belongs” at Liverpool or Manchester City after the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Fofana drew plenty of interest from clubs across Europe this past summer after a breakout 2024–25 campaign. The Belgian starred for Lyon, tallying 11 goals and five assists in 41 appearances across all competitions.
Despite links with both Liverpool and Chelsea, a deal never materialised for Fofana during the most recent transfer window. The forward continues to impress, though, recording four goal contributions in his last 11 appearances for both club and country.
According to Frederico Pena, a senior figure at Roc Nation agency, it is only a matter of time before the Belgium international completes a move to the Premier League or the Bundesliga.
“This is the season in which Fofana wants to show himself to the world, especially at the World Cup,” Pena told Belgian outlet .
“If he succeeds, he can move from Lyon to a top 10 club. At Roc Nation, we strongly believe in him. Liverpool, Bayern [Munich], Man City, those are the clubs where he belongs.”
