Malick Fofana pursued by Chelsea and Liverpool, prefers Manchester United

Young Olympique Lyon winger, Malick Fofana — has become a primary target for two major English Premier League clubs ahead of the 2025 summer transfer window.

Chelsea emerged as the first club showing serious interest — directly contacting Lyon to discuss potential transfer possibilities for the 20-year-old player.

Liverpool joined the race for the former KAA Gent player — choosing a different approach by directly contacting the player’s agent to discuss personal terms.

Amid competition between these clubs, Fofana has instead signaled interest in joining Manchester United — adding new dynamics to the Premier League transfer race.
