Malick Fofana’s agent says that he belongs at Liverpool after his failed summer moveOne area that Liverpool failed to bring in a replacement for was left-wing.

Players such as Rodrygo and Malick Fofana were consistently linked with a move and now, speaking to Belgian Outlet De Morgen, Fofana’s agent has said that he believes the attacker, who’s said to be worth around £51million, belongs at Liverpool. “This is the season Fofana wants to show himself to the world, especially at the World Cup,” he said.“If he succeeds, he can go from Lyon to a top ten club.

We strongly believe in him at Roc Nation.“Liverpool, Bayern, Man City—those are the clubs he belongs at.”Malick Fofana would have been a perfect purchase for Liverpool this summerSeeing as though Fofana is still just 20 years old, he has plenty of room to grow and develop into an even better player than he already is.He’s contributed to three goals in Ligue 1 already this season and has been one of Lyon’s most important players. At the moment, he’ll obviously have his eye on the World Cup, and if he manages to continue making a good name for himself and perhaps get a goal or two in the summer tournament, the Reds’ interest could be piqued again.
