Undesirable at OL due to his conflicts with supporters, Karl Toko-Ekambi is back from his loan to Rennes but should not carry over the Olympique Lyonnais jersey.
Under contract with Olympique Lyonnais until June 2024, Karl Toko-Ekambi comes out of a six-month loan at Stade Rennais, where he scored five goals and delivered two assists. Even if OL seek to strengthen in attack, it is not possible for the Rhone club to relaunch the Cameroonian international. Indeed, the conflicts between “KTE” and the supporters have made the former Villarreal striker the No. 1 enemy of Groupama Stadium and it is not imaginable – for any party – to see Toko-Ekambi again postpone the shirt. of OL in an official match.

A solution will quickly have to be found for the 29-year-old striker and according to information from Foot Mercato, Turkey could do the Rhone club a great service in this matter. And for good reason, the media says that Fenerbahçe has positioned itself to recruit Karl Toko-Ekambi, who is available at a reasonable price given his contractual situation. After winning the bet in the Alexander Djiku case, recruited from Strasbourg, the Turkish club intends to continue its transfer window made in Ligue 1 with the arrival of Karl Toko-Ekambi from OL.
Toko-Ekambi freed by OL and on his way to Turkey?
Fenerbahçe could even do a great financial deal as Lyon are ready to release their Cameroon striker from his final year of contract, to make sure he leaves and negotiations don’t break down over financial considerations. A win-win deal could quickly emerge to the delight of Lyon supporters. For their part, Vincent Ponsot and John Textor will be able to congratulate themselves on this departure which will further reduce the club’s payroll. Far from negligible at a time when OL is under the supervision of the DNCG.
