Matt Turner officially joined Olympique Lyonnais … but not for a long time. Loaned last season to Crystal Palace, the American international goalkeeper (52 selections) still belonged to Nottingham Forest, a club he had joined in the summer of 2023 from Arsenal. But this summer, John Textor had decided to enlist him to OL. And since the departure of the American investor, the Lyonnais hoped to give up his transfer. In the legal impossibility of canceling the operation carried out by John Textor, the OL leaders resolved to buy the American goalkeeper.
Nottingham Forest confirmed this Thursday the final transfer of the 31 -year -old porter to Ligue 1 and OL, without the amount of the operation being specified. But the American will not stay in Lyon for a long time, because the goalkeeper will be loaned a year to the MLS franchise in New England Revolution. An non -compulsory purchase option would be matching this loan, while the American stable will fully take charge of its salary. An administrative imbroglio, while Turner hopes to be called with the American national team for the next 2026 World Cup, on its soil.
