Olympique Lyonnais has made official the departure of its midfielder Orel Mangala. The Belgian player who arrived last winter from Nottingham Forest for more than 35 million euros, did not convince his management. And the Rhone club decided to part ways with him this summer to save his salary and hope that a year in the Premier League will allow him to shine. He was therefore loaned to Everton.
“Olympique Lyonnais announces the loan without an option to buy of Orel Mangala to the English club Everton until June 30, 2025. Aged 26, the Belgian international midfielder, loaned by Nottingham Forest last January, has played 13 matches in all competitions with the club, scoring two goals in Ligue 1. Transferred permanently this summer, Orel Mangala remains under contract with OL until June 30, 2028”we can read in the club’s press release.
