Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing Lyon forward Malick Fofana, a 19-year-old who has impressed this season with 5 goals and 2 assists in 16 games. The Reds are reportedly planning to bring Fofana to Anfield in 2025, especially as they may need to refresh their attack amid uncertainty over the futures of Mohamed Salah and Luis Diaz. Salah, in particular, is in the final year of his contract and has yet to agree to an extension, while Diaz was linked with a move away during the summer.
Fofana, who is under contract with Lyon until 2028, could be available at a bargain price of €15-20 million, given Lyon’s financial struggles and potential relegation from Ligue 1. Liverpool are poised to capitalize on the situation and add the talented Frenchman to their squad.
In addition to Fofana, Liverpool’s own key players Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Virgil van Dijk all have contracts expiring in 2025. Alexander-Arnold is reportedly a target for Real Madrid, who are looking for a long-term successor for Dani Carvajal, while Van Dijk, who is approaching 34, may also be in line for a potential move as his contract nears its end.
