🇹🇷 Understand Turkish clubs Fenerbahce & Galatasaray are also showing interest in signing Chemsdine Talbi from Sunderland.
🪟 Like Saudi clubs, Turkish teams can also still buy players as their transfer window is still open.

🚨🚦 Malick Fofana has given Sunderland the green light to lodge the paperwork and sign him from Lyon. 
🙏🏻 There is belief, but not confidence, from Sunderland that they have won the race to sign the winger - after a day of tense negotiations. 
✍🏼 🔄 Both Sunderland and Crystal Palace at different stages of the day thought they had a deal agreed with the player, only to be hijacked by one another. 
🔜 But Fofana and his representatives have now given Sunderland owner Kyril Louis Dreyfus, who is in Lyon to persuade him to sign, the go ahead to lodge the paperwork. 
👨🏻‍⚕️ He underwent a medical earlier tonight that both clubs had access to.

🚨 Sunderland will not trust they have landed Malick Fofana until the window closes at 11pm.
🥴 They have seen a change of mind multiple times today as #SAFC & #CPFC have gone head-to-head for his signature.
👍🏽 At this moment the noises they are hearing on him signing for Sunderland are positive, and let’s be honest, time is nearing an end.
❌ Their pursuit of Dodi Lukebakio looks to be over though, as a decision has been made for him to stay with Benfica.
🪺 All eggs in the Fofana basket now.

🛩️ AND a private jet is booked for Lukebakio to fly to the North East later on tonight, following talks with Benfica.
⏰ But the clock is against Sunderland and their Sporting Director Flo Ghisolfi…and there is a lot to do! 🇧🇪

🚨My understanding is Malick Fofana HAS NOT boarded a flight to Sunderland— BUT the club are putting plans in place for him to have a Sunderland medical in France 🇫🇷
🤪 Crazy story this, as Sunderland & Palace have being playing tug of-war all day long for the Belgian winger 🇧🇪
🙃 Sunderland are not confident yet, but it feels like it’s 70-30 in their favour.
#SAFC

🚨 ‼️ Sunderland have been given hope that their deal to sign Lyon winger Malick Fofana is still alive.

🛩️ #SAFC also have a private jet booked for Benfica winger, DodI Lukebakio — in case they can agree a deal with Benfica for the winger.

RE: https://sportsbots.xyz/users/SkySports_Keith/statuses/2094794957324181792

🛩️ 🛩️ Told that as of an hour or so ago, Malick Fofana was at Lyon airport with two private jets sat there waiting on him making a decision. 
🦅 🐈‍⬛ One bound for London…the other Sunderland.
💰 Both Palace and Sunderland have £30m deals agreed with Lyon for the Belgian winger.

🚨 Sunderland are pressing ahead with a move for Dodi Lukebakio — in case their move Malick Fofana falls through. 
🇧🇪 Lukebakio also Belgian international, and #SAFC looking at him as an alternative.
🦅 That’s because Crystal Palace have also agreed a deal with Lyon for Fofana as they attempt to hijack the transfer. 
🤔 Fofana has a decision on his hands, and Sunderland need to act quick.
🤝 Lyon have accepted offers of around £30m from both Palace and Sunderland.
❓ As things stand, Sunderland have not been told their deal for Fofana is dead.
