There were two planes waiting for Fofana, one heading to London and another to Sunderland. The player initially chose to head to London, where another offer was probably waiting for him. However, during the flight, Sunderland improved their offer and managed to convince the player to change his mind.

The situation illustrates the intensity and unpredictability of negotiations in modern football, where players can alter their destinies even while en route to their original destination.
