Due to a delicate financial situation, OL are expected to part ways with several players between now and the winter transfer window. Several names are on the table, including those of Saïd Benrahma and Gift Orban.
The competition is enormous in attack at Olympique Lyonnais and obviously, it is in this sector of play that the Rhone club could downsize during the winter transfer window in order to bring in a little money. The most pessimistic already imagine the crack Malick Fofana packing his bags in January for a huge check but at OL, the idea is rather to part ways with certain players lacking playing time in order to recover a transfer fee even low and above all to save their imposing salary.
According to information from Mohamed Toubache-Tertwo players are on the blacklist of Olympique Lyonnais with a view to the next winter transfer window: Gift Orban and Saïd Benrahma. The two players, recruited just a year ago by John Textor and David Friio, no longer fit into Pierre Sage's plans at all, so much so that they were not selected for the derby against ASSE Sunday. The Lyon coach, aware of the perilous financial situation of his club, has already given his agreement for these two departures according to the journalist.
Lens ready to give it a shot Gift Orban
If we do not know for the moment which clubs are interested in Saïd Benrahma, we do know that Gift Orban has an unexpected courtier… in Ligue 1. And for good reason, according to the journalist's information Andrés Onrubia Ramosthe Nigerian striker from OL is one of the targets of RC Lens with a view to the winter transfer window. Looking for a real center forward to fill the gap left by Elye Wahi, sold to Marseille last summer, the Lensois club is interested in the profile of the former La Gantoise scorer. The latter had a good match at Bollaert against the Sang et Or a few weeks ago and Will Still likes his profile as a moving attacker, strong in pivoting and comfortable in aerial play. It now remains to be seen whether RC Lens will draw up an offer likely to meet Lyon's demands regarding Gift Orban this winter.
