This end of the transfer window is very lively behind the scenes at Olympique Lyonnais.

While all eyes are on the Groupama Stadium, where theOlympic Lyonnais is currently facing Racing Club de Strasbourg for the 3rd day of Ligue 1, it is not only on the green rectangle that the Rhone club will try to be active this Friday evening.

As the summer transfer window closes at midnight, Lyon’s leaders are all on the front lines. Behind the scenes, OL will indeed be on the lookout for the slightest opportunity, at the end of a particularly chaotic summer window, where the club has struggled to trim its squad and has not completely satisfied all its needs.

Sage seduced by this experienced player

The start of the season confirmed Olympique Lyonnais’ midfield difficulties. A weakness that was only caused by the arrival of the American Tanner Tessmann will not be able to fill the gap. Pierre Sage wanted another profile, more experienced in Ligue 1 competitions.

And with this in mind, a name has emerged in recent hours: Jordan Veretout. Placed in the “loft” of Olympique de Marseille by Pablo Longoria, the 2022 world vice-champion has experience and reliability that do not leave OL indifferent. The two clubs must now find common ground, while Veretout’s contract expires in 2025.
