More than ever, OL must downsize during this winter transfer market. The Gones are at work and now want to get rid of Mahamadou Diawara.
OL are experiencing a month of January full of dangers. The Rhone club must show itself at a sporting level while managing the winter transfer market internally. And the DNCG was clear with Les Gones: sales or Ligue 2 at the end of the season. Olympique Lyonnais is working hard to downsize its squad. The management, after letting go of players like Gift Orban, Maxence Caqueret, Jeffinho and Anthony Lopes, wants to do the same with the young Mahamadou Diawara. The midfielder is not part of Pierre Sage’s plans and OL intend to make a good move with his departure in order to lighten the Lyon squad a little.
Mahamadou Diawara, many teams want to try it this winter
According to information from Foot Marketafter Stade de Reims, it is now Le Havre and Servette Genève who are following in the footsteps of the player trained at Paris Saint-Germain. The media specifies that the two clubs have also concluded an agreement for an arrival on dry loan without purchase option. It’s up to the 19-year-old player to make his choice, he who wants playing time in order to progress. This season with OL, Diawara only played five times. Since his arrival in Lyon, he has suffered from tough competition and is therefore struggling to prove himself. Mahamadou Diawara is still under contract with Les Gones until June 2028. It is estimated at around 2.5 million euros, even if the Rhone club hopes to get more. As a reminder, Stade de Reims is the only team to have sent a first offer estimated at 3.5 million euros according to The Team. It remains to be seen whether the Champenois will be favored by the Lyonnais.
