After a second consecutive season without the European Cup, OL want to sweep away their old demons and hit hard during the summer transfer window to return to the front of the stage in Ligue 1. A Portuguese player is targeted by the Lyon management.
Only seventh in Ligue 1 for the 2022/2023 financial year, 5 points behind European places, OL have once again been very disappointed. If Lyon supporters have found hope at the end of the season, the result remains disappointing but with the arrival of billionaire John Textor, the future can only be bright. OL, however, must be active on the transfer market and invest. Laurent Blanc, who should remain in office next year, requires recruits. Especially in a particular sector. The midfield. Despite the return of Corentin Tolisso, the former PSG coach wants to recruit a number 6. That’s good because according to information from Revelo, OL are following in the footsteps of a Portuguese midfielder.

Whether it’s OM or Paris, in recent years, French teams like to dip into the Portuguese league to try to find a new nugget. OL are no exception to the rule and have set their sights on Florentino Luis. Author of 42 games this season with Benfica, the midfielder of 24 is a very important player for the Eagles. The Portuguese outlet claims that Benfica are open to the idea of letting go of the former Getafe player for 40 million euros. A very large sum, especially for OL, despite the new investors. AC Milan and Aston Villa are also very interested in the man who wore the AS Monaco jersey 11 times during his loan during the 2020/2021 season. An unsuccessful loan but which allowed Florentino Luis to finally win in his training club. OL are on the lookout and will have to be persuasive because the competition is fierce but above all they are competing in a European Cup, unlike the Rhone club.
