While Olympique Lyonnais is known for training young talents, a new jewel is preparing its future. Perhaps far from the Gones nest. Enzo Molebe, the 17-year-old striker, has just changed agent to join Jorge Mendes' prestigious company Gestifute, as the Portuguese super-agent's company has just made official.
Revealed to the general public during preparation and the first matches of the season, Enzo Molebe made a strong impression. Shaped in the Lyon structures since 2020, the fast and technical attacker has managed to find a place within the professional squad. His appearances on the bench against Strasbourg and Auxerre have reassured observers in the idea that the young player has great potential. Some do not hesitate to compare him to the gems from the OL training center in recent years.

But now the player has just made an important decision by entrusting his career to Jorge Mendes, the famous agent of Cristiano Ronaldo and many other football stars. Among which other emerging talents have already confirmed in France, such as the two French internationals from PSG, Warren Zaire-Emery and Bradley Barcola.
The passage under the thumb of Mendes is sometimes synonymous with an early departure for promising young players. The case of Bradley Barcola, who left for Paris Saint-Germain just a few months after joining Jorge Mendes, is an illustration of this.
From then on, the question arises as to whether Enzo Molebe will really have time to establish himself at Olympique Lyonnais or if he is destined to follow the same trajectory as his former teammate. With fierce offensive competition within the Rhone club, the young striker will have to quickly convince if he hopes to gain playing time.
