Three weeks ago, the Mexican press revealed OL’s interest in Hirving Lozano, the right winger under contract with Naples until 2024.
Olympique Lyonnais supporters are eagerly awaiting the summer transfer window, the first of the John Textor era. Despite the absence of a European Cup at OL next season, supporters are waiting for ambitious recruits in order to believe in the project carried out by the American businessman, who succeeded Jean-Michel Aulas at the head of the Rhone club. The first tracks are rather attractive, like Samuel Umtiti or Florentino Luis.
OL are in the running to recruit Lozano
According to the information issued by the Mexican press just a month ago, Hirving Lozano is also a target of John Textor for the Lyon transfer window. Information confirmed at the beginning of the week by Todo Fichajes. Indeed, the Spanish media understands that the Mexican from Naples, who has scored 4 goals and delivered 4 assists this season, is in the sights of OL this summer.

Laurent Blanc wants to recruit wingers during the next transfer window and Lozano’s profile matches the shortcomings of the Lyon workforce in the eyes of the tricolor coach. Fast, a good dribbler and capable of being decisive by goals or assists, Lozano ticks all the boxes. From a financial point of view, he could also be affordable after a season where he was more often a substitute than a starter in Naples.
Lozano’s market value plummeted
His contractual situation is also interesting for OL since his lease will expire in a year and for the time being, the native of Mexico City has not extended in favor of the reigning Italian champion. Recruited for 45 million euros from PSV Eindhoven four years ago, Hirving Lozano is now only worth half that sum given his irregularity this season, his injuries and his contractual situation. A great deal on which Lyon would like to jump during this summer transfer window even if the Gones will not be alone on this file
