Malick Fofana has completed the usual medical examinations and by midnight tonight he is ready to leave Lyon to go to England. Where? Maybe he doesn't even know himself: it is the most absurd story of these months of the transfer market, a deal that on the last day has taken different turns and nuances and has not yet been closed. In the meantime, the player has completed the medical examinations, to precede the process, but in reality he still does not know for whom he is doing them.
The delay in his transfer has ruined the arrival of Youssuf Fofana at Milan, but the deal has taken on truly grotesque proportions. He is between Sunderland and Crystal Palace and during the morning he was even wanted by Arsenal, who however backed out in the face of Lyon's demand of more than 30 million euros. The Belgian has very little time to decide, but at least he will only have to sign a new contract, since the medicals are no longer a problem.
The absurd story of Malick Fofana
The medicals without knowing the destination are just the culmination of a crazy day that is not over yet. Fofana has had them at a private French clinic accredited by Sunderland and Crystal Palace, the two teams between which he is undecided, although he has a lukewarm preference for the Black Cats. His contract could be the last to be deposited by a Premier League team, given that the transfer window will remain open until midnight and the final decision has not yet been made.
The two teams have started the auction today, to the great delight of Lyon, which has seen the requested figure increase. Fofana even had two private jets at his disposal for the two destinations and not even the salary increase offered by Crystal Palace has been enough to convince him to make a decision. The Londoners may be surprised at the end of the story, but to be calm, the Belgian has already completed the medical examinations without knowing where he will end up, an absurd story for an intense final day of the transfer market.
