Fofana started his career by playing youth football for several amateur clubs in Groningen including GVAV-Rapiditas. During his family's summer vacation in 2012, Fofana played a street football tournament at Lyon where a scout of Barcelona was present.[2] He was impressed by Fofana's style of play and recommended him to the club. Fofana joined Barcelona following year after two internships at the club.[3] However, he was forced to leave the club after two years as FIFA imposed a sanction on Barcelona for buying players aged under 18.[4] He returned to Netherlands after leaving Barcelona and joined PSV later.[5]
On 2 August 2019, PSV announced that three 16-year-olds from their youth academy including Fofana have signed their first professional contract with the club.[6] He signed a three-year contract through to the summer of 2022.[7] He made his professional debut for Jong PSV on 6 November 2020 in a 2–1 league win against Den Bosch.[8] He played whole 90 minutes in the match and scored his team's both goals.[8]
