The summer transfer window has been in full swing in France since it opened on June 10. Far from Germany and Euro 2024, French clubs are active on the transfer market. This is particularly the case for Olympique Lyonnais, which is discreetly shopping on the transfer market. The Rhone club is even on the verge of completing the recruitment of a young player from Newcastle.
OL are calmly preparing their transfer window
OL will play in Europe next season. Author of an incredible rise in the rankings last season, the Rhone club managed to grab 6e qualifying place for the Europa League. A qualification which still looked like a poisoned gift for Lyon which will have to strengthen itself this summer even though it has limited resources. But the real gift came from the DNCG which postponed the visit of OL until later.
This allows the Rhône club to calmly manage its transfer window. If Olympique Lyonnais will lose players this summer, the club will also welcome new ones, while trying to maintain the balance of its payroll. OL intends to strengthen each line, particularly the offensive one. To this end, the club from the city of Gauls is interested in a gem from Newcastle.
