Roma target Lyon winger Malick Fofana in potential Serie A move

Belgian-Guinean winger Malick Fofana has been linked with a move from Lyon to Roma, with the 21-year-old currently playing in France’s Ligue 1 and the Italian club competing in Serie A.

Fofana is listed as a left winger and has a market value of €30m. The reported link comes as Roma explore a potential addition from outside Italy, while Lyon could face interest in a player whose current contract keeps him at the French club until 30 June 2028.

The rumour is dated 4 August 2026 and concerns a player who remains under a long-term agreement with Lyon. No transfer fee, bid or probability of a deal has been established, so the proposed move remains at the speculation stage.

Fofana’s dual Belgian and Guinean nationality adds an international dimension to his profile, but the available details do not indicate which country he represents at senior level. His current role at Lyon is as a left-sided attacking player, with Roma the club currently linked to his signature.

For now, Fofana remains a Lyon player, with his contract running until the summer of 2028.
