OL will have some ambitions this summer on the transfer market. For this, the Gones will have to think about making significant sales.
The seasons follow each other and have looked alike at OL for some time. During the next exercise, Les Gones will not play in any European competition. This summer, some major players could therefore leave. Laurent Blanc will have to meet with his management to assess the situation. Already, we know that the former PSG coach wants to see reliable players land in order to give himself every chance of finishing in a good place next season. If OL will be on the lookout for players at the end of their contract, one or two investments cannot be ruled out in the event of good sales. And Castello Lukeba could be concerned…

Still under contract until 2025, Lukeba has a very good market value. His profile and his room for improvement appeal to many clubs, who could make tempting offers to OL this summer. For his part, the French defender does not rule out any option. In the event of departure, Les Gones plan to recover at least 20 million euros. According to information from Sport, the potential departure of Lukeba would pave the way for Samuel Umtiti’s return to OL! The Catalan daily explains that OL have come closer to signing the world champion, who is coming out of a few attractive months in Lecce. At the end of the contract in 2026 with Barça, his lease could be broken. A solution that suits all parties. At OL, Umtiti could relaunch his career in a setting he knows well with players he appreciates and who are pushing for his return, such as Corentin Tolisso or Alexandre Lacazette. But would a return from Umtiti legitimize a departure from Lukeba? That is the whole question, especially given the few physical guarantees given by the tricolor world champion.
