Less than a year after joining Olympique Lyonnais, Saïd Benrahma could already leave John Textor's club. The Algerian international has offers.
His transfer to Lyon caused a mini drama last winter since West Ham pressed the wrong button in the last minute of the transfer window and late sent the essential documents to FIFA so that Saïd Benrahma could join OL. But, to the joy of social networks, the Algerian player finally managed to sign with Lyon, making his contribution to the spectacular recovery of Pierre Sage's team. Yes, but there you go, in modern football everything moves very quickly and two weeks before the end of the 2025 winter transfer window, FootMercato confirms that Saïd Benrahma is very close to leaving Olympique Lyonnais where he is no longer the first choice. Faced with this sporting situation, the Fennecs player is ready to leave and he has already received offers likely to convince him to turn the OL page quickly.
Saïd Benrahma for a short year and then leaves
Indeed, the specialized media specifies that the Neom club, which plays in the Saudi D2 championship, but which has enormous ambitions, has already sent an offer directly to Saïd Benrahma. And this would not be the only team to carefully follow the situation of the Lyon player, since in England, where the 29-year-old striker left a good impression, several clubs are also willing to make an offer to OL. Recruited by Lyon for just over 20 million euros in the 2024 winter transfer window, Saïd Benrahma could leave for a significantly lower amount, his value now being estimated at 15 million euros per Transfer market. But, at a time when John Textor's club must tighten its belt, this departure of the Algerian left winger, and the salary savings that go with it, will not be seen as a catastrophe either at a time when Olympique Lyonnais no longer really has any other choice.
