Lyon may reduce asking price for Fofana after Champions League exit

Lyon's Malick Fofana has come under new transfer scrutiny following his club's elimination from the Champions League by Fenerbahce. With this setback impacting their financial situation, Lyon might lower Fofana's asking price, originally set at €30 million plus €5 million in bonuses. AS Roma is among several clubs expressing interest in Fofana, aiming to strengthen its attack as the transfer window closes. The urgency increases for Roma to finalize a deal for Fofana to provide additional options on the wing, as manager Gian Piero Gasperini has indicated a preference for the player.
