The final days of the transfer period are hectic at Fenerbahce. New developments have occurred regarding the future of Malick Fofana, one of the names on the yellow-navy blue club's agenda. In addition to Fenerbahce, clubs from England and Italy are also interested in the 21-year-old left winger, who wears the Lyon jersey.
HULL CITY HAD WRITTEN OFF 35 MILLION EUROS
Hull City, chaired by Acun Ilicali, had stepped in with a 35 million euro offer to bring Fofana into their squad and held talks with the young footballer. However, it was reported that Fofana turned down Hull City's offer by saying, "I will continue at a big club." Following this development, the English club withdrew from the transfer.
HE LIKED THE "COME TO FENERBAHCE" COMMENT
An exciting move came from Fofana's side for Fenerbahce fans. The Belgian star liked the comment made to him saying, "Come to Fenerbahce." Fofana's move was interpreted as him being warm to transferring to the yellow-navy blue team.
SUNDERLAND AND ROMA ARE ALSO IN THE PICTURE
With Hull City withdrawing, the England possibility for Fofana has not completely disappeared. It is stated that Sunderland is considering the 21-year-old footballer as an alternative after the transfers of Jack Grealish and Tiago Paixao did not materialize. It is also expressed that Roma from Italy is interested in Fofana.
HE HAS A CONTRACT WITH LYON UNTIL 2028
While it is stated that Lyon has become more open to selling players after being eliminated by Fenerbahce and being left out of the Champions League, Fofana's contract with the French club continues until 2028. The steps Fenerbahce will take for the young star in the remaining part of the transfer period are eagerly awaited.
