An announced departure from OL

Lacking playing time in Lyon, Tino Kadewere should be loaned until the end of the season to FC Nantes, with an option to buy.

This is the first start of the winter for Olympique Lyonnais. Tino Kadewere, who only played 288 minutes in Ligue 1 with Les Gones, should finish the season with FC Nantes. The Zimbabwean international will be loaned to the Canaries, according to Ouest-France.

L’Equipe mentions a “very low” purchase option, which will be exercised automatically if Nantes remains in Ligue 1 this season, as well as a resale percentage for OL. Kadewere had recently extended for one year with OL, until 2025, so as not to leave free.

Another reinforcement should arrive at the Canaries, since Ouest-France also announces the loan with option to purchase of the Ivorian winger Bénie Traoré, lacking time at Sheffield United. The FCN needed new blood in the offensive sector with the departures of Mostafa Mohamed and Moses Simon at the CAN, as well as the serious injury of Ignatius Ganago.
