Transfer Rumour Malick Fofana



It still annoys me that we always seem to pay double what these young players get picked up for a relatively short time prior to our interest.

“On 10 January 2024, Fofana joined Ligue 1 side Lyon for a fee of €17 million, plus €5 million in add-ons, and a 20% sell-on clause on a future sale in favor of Gent”

Cue the usual suspects telling im wrong and this is actually what we should be doing, ie letting other clubs find the bargains etc…..

It’s a tough one really as on one hand you buy him from Genk but he not quite good enough to get enough game time to improve but on the other hand he now worth double what they paid. Equally you need a good solid squad before you buy him from Genk or Onana from the club before we got him

At the end of the day, at least we are going in for these players.

Players that lets be honest we have no right to even be in the conversation for.

If we dont get them people will be giving it the "phantom bid" banter, but as I said last night, if you dont buy a ticket, you dont win the prize.
