Fodé Fofana is in the interest of Olympique Marseille, it knows Eindhovens Dagblad to report. The contract of the eighteen-year-old striker with PSV will continue until mid-2022, which means that the French club has to come up with a transfer fee. The team from Eindhoven would like to continue with Fofana, who should become the striker of Jong PSV next season under Ruud van Nistelrooij.
Fofana has been playing for PSV since 2015, which took him over from Barcelona. During a street football tournament on holiday in Lyon, he was scouted by the Catalans, where at the age of ten he won a place in the youth academy as a player of the Groningen amateur club GVAV-Rapiditas through an internship. Because Barcelona had made mistakes in issuing contracts for children, he had to leave the Spanish top club after two years. PSV picked up Fofana at the age of twelve.
In Eindhoven, the striker went through the youth academy and made his debut in professional football this season on behalf of Young PSV. With eight goals and three assists in nineteen official games, Fofana impresses and has thus been in the spotlight at Olympique Marseille. PSV would like to continue with Fofana and will therefore hope that he will soon extend his contract until mid-2022. He must become the striker of Jong PSV next season under coach Van Nistelrooij.
