Just like Real Madrid which signed Arda Güler, Olympique Lyonnais is close to completing the transfer of a Turkish player.
Olympique Lyonnais are sparing no effort to be a real threat to their French competitors and their opponents in the European Cup next season. The Rhone club has just reactivated an unexpected track.
Change in OL staff
Olympique Lyonnais had one of the craziest seasons in its entire history. After occupying last place in Ligue 1 for several days, the Rhone club came back from its ashes, surprising everyone. To everyone’s surprise, OL, who were able to count on the services of Pierre Sage, finished the season with a place in Europe.

OL will compete in the group stage of the Europa League, finishing in sixth place in Ligue 1. But Les Gones will experience a reshuffle in their technical staff. While waiting to obtain his coaching diploma to benefit from a contract extension, Pierre Sage will have new faces on his staff. According to recent information from RMC Sport, the former Valenciennes coach, Jorge Maciel, and Rui Lemos, could arrive at OL respectively as assistant to Pierre Sage and physical trainer. The two men would therefore replace Jérémie Brachet and Antonin Da Fonseca who should join Bruno Genesio on the Lille side.

L’OL ne lâche pas İsmail Yüksek
To have a successful season next season, Olympique Lyonnais does not intend to skimp on resources. The Rhone club has targeted several players for this summer transfer window, including Yankuba Minteh. But the latter preferred to stay in the Premier League than sign in France. If OL approached İsmail Yüksek during the last winter transfer window, the team coached by Pierre Sage has not forgotten the Turkish midfielder.

According to information reported by the Turkish media, Sabah, the Gones would have returned to the attack for the defensive midfielder of Fenerbahçe. OL would consider completing this operation as quickly as possible. The operation should cost around 10 million euros to Les Gones.
