What happened. Milan's deal to send Youssouf Fofana to Lyon collapsed because Lyon couldn't sell Malick Fofana before the Ligue 1 deadline, so Besiktas are now back in the running.

• Fofana had signed contract for loan with option to buy.
• Lyon failed to register player before 19:00 UK deadline.
• Turkish transfer window remains open for four more days.

Besiktas, previously keen, may now secure Fofana before Turkish window closes.
