The brass at La Liga champions Barcelona are ready to go toe-to-toe with two of English football’s leading clubs in the race for the signature of Oympique Lyonnais talent Malick Fofana.
This comes as interest in the services of the 20-year-old continues to mount across the continent.
Fofana, for his part, is a gifted young attacker, who chiefly operates on the left wing.
Despite his tender years, the starlet is already an established senior international with Belgium, considered one of the country’s very best up-and-coming talents.
Fofana has long been hailed for all of his dribbling technique, pace, eye for goal and final ball.
And as alluded to above, the race to lure the wide-man away from Groupama Stadium now appears to be heating up…
As per a report from Fichajes, Barcelona, Arsenal and Liverpool are ready to battle it out to bring Fofana in for next season.
The Blaugrana, for their part, are hopeful that Lyon’s monetary troubles will make a deal an affordable one, key to their chances of competing against the financial might of the Premier League.
