Held in check against Stade de Reims this weekend, Olympique Lyonnais nevertheless remains in contact with the Ligue 1 podium, just four lengths behind OM.
But the reality is that OL will have to sell many players during the upcoming transfer window, in order to replenish their coffers while reducing their payroll.
A priority for John Textor on the Lyon side. And if OL will still do their utmost to keep Rayan Cherki and Malick Fofana, although the two stars of Les Gones are already very popular, offers could quickly fall for other players.
We are thinking in particular of the experienced Nicolas Taglifiacio, who would remain Thiago Motta's number one priority at Juventus Turin, or even of Maxence Caqueret, who had already been approached by Bayer Leverkusen last summer.
But according to the Iberian press, the leaders of Villarreal would have the idea of doing their transfer window with OL in January!
And a name has already leaked into the Spanish press since Villarreal is already ready to take action with John Textor and Lyon to try to recruit the promising Mahamadou Diawara (19 years old), who does not fit into Pierre's plans Sage (only two appearances in Ligue 1 and two matches played in the Europa League).
According to information from Super Sportthe young midfielder of the French U19 team is currently valued at three million euros and this price should not dampen the enthusiasm of the La Liga team. Case to follow for this young player who arrived in the Rhône from the PSG training center, in the form of a free transfer during the summer of 2023.
