Roma interested in Lyon's Malick Fofana as summer transfer target

Summary

Roma is reportedly tracking Malick Fofana, a 2005-born player currently with Lyon. Standing 169 cm tall, Fofana has primarily played on the left flank, where Roma seeks reinforcements. He has started only nine Ligue 1 games this season due to ankle issues, totaling 921 minutes with two goals and one assist. Lyon values Fofana at around €30 million, which will require consideration as Roma manages its squad for the upcoming period. Interest in Fofana has resurfaced after he was on Roma's radar last season.
