Football Club de Marseille invites you to follow the news of OM's competitors (PSG, Monaco, Lyon, Nice, LOSC, Rennes, etc.). Olympique Lyonnais, in the midst of a financial crisis, is preparing for a 2025 winter transfer window where several players are expected to leave the club to reduce the payroll and generate essential income. This sales strategy is crucial for the sporting and economic future of the club.
According to Progressthree players are particularly set to leave this winter: Gift Orban, Wilfried Zaha et Warmed Omari. Each of these players is having a difficult season under the direction of Pierre Sage and is not in the coach's immediate plans.
Gift Orbanrecruited last year from La Gantoise, remains a sought-after player thanks to his offensive potential. Although his playing time is limited, he could attract the interest of several European clubs, allowing OL to recover a transfer fee to improve their finances.

Orban, Zaha and Omari heading out?
As for Wilfried Zaha et Warmed Omaritheir situation is different. Loaned respectively to Galatasaray and at Stade Rennaisthese two players will not bring in transfer fees if they leave this winter. However, their departure would make it possible to reduce the wage bill, which remains a priority objective for the club. Their future will depend on the willingness of lending clubs to terminate these loans early.
Finally, although Rayan Cherki et Yassine Fofana are also cited among the players likely to leave, a transfer for these two elements is instead planned for the summer of 2025, a period when their market value will be higher. An amount of at least €30M would be expected for the international Espoirs…
In this context, Olympique Lyonnais finds itself faced with a difficult choice: sell to reduce its finances while maintaining a competitive workforce. The 2025 winter transfer window will therefore be a turning point for the club.
