Mercato: thunderbolt for OL! A great talent leaves (OFFICIAL)

Hyperactive during this winter transfer window, Olympique Lyonnais gave up one of its nuggets. A surprising departure.

Renowned for its expertise in training, Olympique Lyonnais has sold a very promising prospect in the person of Tidiane Diawara. This 18-year-old striker has signed a contract with AJ Auxerre, second in Ligue 2. An operation which could allow this talented prospect to launch his professional career.

“The 18-year-old striker, trained at OL, has signed up until June 2026 with the AJA, indicated the Burgundian club in an official press release. The AJA is pleased to announce the signing of Tidiane Diawara’s first professional contract, until June 2026. A young 18-year-old striker with very strong potential, which he will continue to develop in our club, he has worn the colors of FC Fleury (Essonne) before joining Olympique Lyonnais, where he played for three seasons in U17 and U19. Since the start of the season, Tidiane has played for Linas-Montlhéry, in National 3, and has scored 5 goals in 10 championship matches. At AJA, he will wear number 22. The entire club is delighted with the arrival of Tidiane Diawara and can’t wait to see him evolve under our colors! “, concludes the AJA.

If he should be called upon to play with the Auxerre reserve initially, Tidiane Diawara could be promoted to the first team quite quickly, especially as AJA approaches the rest of this season with great ambitions. Christophe Pélissier demonstrated that he did not hesitate to bet on his young shoots.
