The negotiation between Milan and Lyon for Youssouf Fofana has slowed down. The transfer of the French midfielder, which seemed close to completion, is not yet finalized and in recent hours some obstacles have emerged that need to be overcome.

It was revealed by Gianluca Di Marzio through his X profile, explaining how between the two clubs some hiccups have arisen in the final phase of the operation.

Milan, Fofana-Lyon: negotiation still open

Despite the difficulties, contacts between Milan and Lyon will continue with the aim of reaching a definitive agreement and unlocking the deal.

The French midfielder is now out of Ruben Amorim's plans and the red-and-black club is working to find an exit solution before the market closes.

Fofana, Lyon remains ahead of the competition

Other clubs and several leagues also remain interested in the player, but Lyon continues to be the most concrete destination.

The French side indeed remains ahead of the rivals and in the coming hours will continue the dialogue with Milan to try to close the operation definitively.
