▪️ Arsenal showed late interest yesterday but decided against meeting Lyon’s £30M asking price.
▪️ Sunderland then swooped in, agreed a £30M package and lined up a five-year contract for Fofana. A medical was booked.
• Crystal Palace HIJACKED the deal by offering £33.5M, which Lyon accepted.
• Fofana’s camp had TWO private jets ready — one for London and another for the North East. He initially chose London to complete his Palace move.
• Sunderland responded by matching Palace’s £33.5M offer while improving the commission package for Fofana’s representatives.
• ANOTHER U-TURN. Fofana then headed back towards Sunderland, leaving Palace in the dark over his whereabouts.
• Palace responded AGAIN by increasing their salary and agent commission offer to roughly match Sunderland’s package and became confident they could hijack the transfer for a SECOND time.
And now for the craziest part: Fofana is undergoing a medical… WITHOUT KNOWING WHICH CLUB HE’S ACTUALLY HAVING IT FOR.
Sunderland. Palace. Sunderland. Palace.
