Mercato specialist, Fabrizio Romano, reveals behind the scenes of discussions between the Belgian international and a leading European training.
Malick Fofana promises to be one of the great attractions of the next Mercatos. Filled by several large European clubs during the summer period, the young attacker of Olympique Lyonnais had been associated with Bayern Munich.
The German champion had checked the name of the Belgian international. It was envisaged as a subsidiary option in the event of failure on the track leading to Luis Diaz.
A loan offered
According to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, Fofana finally reached an agreement with the Rekordmeister. However, the Colombian Follet Fire finally joined the ranks of the Roten from Liverpool for 75 million euros, thereby annihilating the chances of a dry transfer of the native of Alost to Bavaria.
However, Bayern tried a final approach before closing the transfer market, offering a 20 -year -old left winger loan. An offer that was available by the Lyon management.
