Olympique Lyonnais will indeed secure the services of one of the revelations of the season in Ligue 1.

Olympique Lyonnais can rub their hands. While its budget for the next summer transfer window promises to be tight – like last season – with the shadow of financial fair play still hanging over its head, OL will have to redouble their ingenuity to strengthen their team.

On the sales side, the club hopes to raise at least twenty million euros. Not everyone will be sacrificed, however. The newspaper
The Team
recalls that five players are considered untouchable this summer: Dominik Greif, Moussa Niakhaté, Tyler Morton, Corentin Tolisso, and one of the two left wingers, Malick Fofana or Afonso Moreira.

On the arrivals side, a first big blow was completed by management. Still according to the daily, Kaïl Boudache, one of the revelations of the OGC Nice season with 3 goals for 19 appearances including tax and scorer this Friday evening in the play-offs against AS Saint-Étienne (4-1), will sign up with Lyon.

Kaïl Boudache has already had his medical examination

Revealed to France barely four months ago, with a first appearance on January 22 against Go Ahead Eagles in the Europa League, the 19-year-old striker will sign his first professional contract with the Rhone team.

A duration of three years is mentioned for Kaïl Boudache, who has even already passed his medical examination with Olympique Lyonnais. Nice tried to keep him, but the French U17 international (1 selection) was not convinced by the project proposed by its leaders.
