Olympique Lyonnais is about to register a significant reinforcement in this summer transfer window.
Slowed down in its transfer window after being rejected by the DNCG, Olympique Lyonnais must compete in creativity to strengthen this summer. Laurent Blanc has clearly expressed his desire to have a competitive team to be able to restore the club’s image at the level of Ligue 1 this week. This will go through the possibility of keeping certain players with high market value, but also through arrivals to expand the workforce.
With this in mind, Olympique Lyonnais would be about to welcome a new element. The Rhone club would have set its sights on Saba Sazonov. According to information from L’Équipe, this 21-year-old Georgian international could land in the coming days.

The player has already reached an agreement with OL, where a 5-year contract awaits him. It now remains to find common ground with Dynamo Moscow, who would demand compensation of between 3 and 4 million euros to release their defender, who has one year left on his contract.
By attracting Saba Sazonov, Olympique Lyonnais could have an additional option in defense. Powerful, this imposing defender (1.94) has a promising profile. But L’Équipe specifies that Sazonov could also be loaned directly to Molenbeek – a team owned by Eagle Football – after his acquisition. A file that will only be finalized with the approval of the DNCG. To be continued…
