According to a report from Fabrizio Romano, Everton are in advanced negotiations with Lyon this summer to sign Malick Fofana (20). The Premier League club has entered into direct contact with Les Gones about the acquisition of the services of the Belgian International.
Fofana Ol is expected to leave during the summer transfer window. The Rhône club is forced to sell players this summer in accordance with the agreements made with the DNCG, which led to the reversal of their relegation to the second level of French football. The 20-year-old has attracted interest from various clubs, including Liverpool and Bayern Munich.
Everton has now made contact with the representatives of Fofana in an attempt to agree on personal conditions with the Lyon wing player. Les Gones had already agreed with Nottingham Forest for the Belgian attacker, but the player rejected the opportunity to move to the city. It is still to be seen whether the winger would be interested in becoming a member of the toffees.
