Malick Fofana: Roma linked with Lyon winger

Malick Fofana, the Belgian-Guinean winger currently at Lyon, has been linked with a move to Roma.

The reported interest concerns a potential switch from Ligue 1 to Serie A, with the rumour dated 4 August 2026. Fofana, 21, plays as a left winger and remains contracted to Lyon until 30 June 2028.

There is no indication that a transfer has been agreed, and the available details do not include a proposed fee or a likelihood of the move being completed. Fofana’s current market value is listed at €30m, a figure that could provide a reference point for any negotiations between the French and Italian clubs.

Fofana’s profile places him among Lyon’s attacking options, while Roma are the club named in connection with his possible departure from France. The move would see the player leave Ligue 1 for Serie A if completed, but the rumour remains at the stage of reported interest.

His long-term contract means Lyon are not facing an imminent expiry deadline, with more than a year remaining on the deal at the time of the reported link.
