“Everton’s SHOCKING £26M Swoop for SENSATIONAL Star in FINAL-STAGE Talks – Deal IMMINENT!”
Everton in Advanced Negotiations with Lyon for Highly-Rated Winger Malick Fofana, Says Fabrizio Romano

Everton in Advanced Talks to Sign Rising Star Malick Fofana
Since joining Lyon from Gent during the previous winter transfer window, Malick Fofana has quickly become a standout figure at the Groupama Stadium.
After debuting as a substitute in a Coupe de France defeat to Le Havre, the 20-year-old winger cemented his place as a regular starter with impressive performances.
Fofana was instrumental for Lyon last season, recording 17 goal contributions across all competitions.
His form has not gone unnoticed, attracting interest from Premier League giants such as Chelsea, Liverpool, and Arsenal.
Despite the competition, Everton appear to be leading the race for the Belgian international. According to Fabrizio Romano, the Toffees are in “advanced talks” to bring Fofana to the Hill Dickinson Stadium this summer.

An official bid has already been submitted to Lyon, and negotiations are underway with both the French club and the player’s representatives in a bid to reach a full agreement.
Romano also reports that Everton are in ongoing discussions over personal terms with Fofana, who is currently valued at £26 million by Transfermarkt.
The Merseyside club have already been active in the market. Striker Thierno Barry has arrived from Villarreal to bolster the forward line, and goalkeeper Mark Travers has signed from Bournemouth to provide depth between the posts.
Additionally, Charly Alcaraz’s loan move to Flamengo has been made permanent.
Manager David Moyes remains eager to secure Fofana’s signature ahead of several top-flight rivals.
The young winger would be a significant addition to Everton’s squad, offering pace, flair, creativity, and a consistent goal threat—qualities that could electrify both fans and teammates.
Fofana’s arrival would mark a statement signing as Everton continue to reshape their squad for the upcoming campaign.
