AS Roma has reportedly identified Olympique Lyonnais' Malick Fofana as a primary target to strengthen their attacking lineup. The 20-year-old winger had a challenging season due to a serious ankle injury, raising concerns about his fitness ahead of a potential €40 million investment. Complicating matters, Leipzig is also pursuing Fofana as a replacement for recently sold player Yan Diomande. Fofana's agents are pushing for a move to Germany, which could impede Roma's efforts to secure him.
