Lyon Sets Price for Malek Fofana Amid Italian Interest

Olympique Lyon has set the sale price for Belgian winger Malek Fofana, amid ongoing interest from several clubs looking to secure his services during the current summer transfer window.

According to "La Gazzetta dello Sport", Lyon is insisting on a €40 million fee to agree to Fofana's departure, who remains the target of several clubs in the transfer market.

Roma has been tracking the 21-year-old player for several months and may act to sign him if their primary target, Rodrigo De Paul, falls through. Sofyan Amrabat has caught the eye of coach Gian Piero Gasperini, while Inter Milan is also among the clubs interested in the player.

Wesley Fofana endured a lengthy absence from the pitch last season due to a severe ankle injury, but he has made his return to the field and has shown reassuring signs regarding his physical condition.

The player's desire to participate in the Champions League may push him to consider leaving Lyon this summer, amid interest from clubs looking to sign him.

Roma can meet the financial demands of Lyon, who are insisting on around €40 million to part with one of their standout young players. Meanwhile, Fofana represents one of the main alternative solutions for the Italian club.
