A year after joining Olympique Lyonnais after a standoff with Stade Rennais, Nemanja Matic could leave OL while he still has a year and a half on his contract.
Launched into the maintenance operation, the Lyon leaders fought during the 2024 winter transfer window to bring in Nemanja Matic, and they ended up winning their case. The signing of the Serbian defensive midfielder had helped to restore muscle to Pierre Sage's squad and we know how that ended. This season, Matic has played 18 matches in all competitions, which demonstrates that Olympique Lyonnais made no mistake. But this Monday, the Italian press claims that the 36-year-old player could quickly leave OL to join the Como club, 16th in Serie A. World-famous for its fabulous lake, the city of Como has already managed to attract Cesc Fabregas , coach of the Italian team, but also Pepe Reina, and Raphaël Varane, who remained at the club even if he retired from sport. Concerning Nemanja Matic, things would be clear, explains Gianluca Di Marzio.
The famous Italian journalist, specialist in the transfer window, recalls that Cesc Fabregas and Nemanja Matic know each other well since they played for three years in the same jersey, that of Chelsea. A club with which Fabregas and Matic were champions of England twice. For his part, the Serbian midfielder from Olympique Lyonnais would not be indifferent to the interest of Como, but he is waiting to have a good salary offer from the Serie A club before deciding. At the same time, and still on the other side of the Alps, the name of Nemanja Matic is also mentioned on the Naples side, proof that his performances with OL have not gone unnoticed. To know if John Textor, who heads the Lyon transfer window, will agree to the sale of a player who will relieve OL's payroll more than he will bring in money through his transfer, his current price, namely 2.5 million euros, being similar to that paid by Lyon to sign him from Rennes.
