Olympique Lyonnais has experienced a busy summer, marked by arrivals and departures. After Lucas Perria left for Leeds United, the club tried to recruit DomiNik Greif, a Slovak goaltender, but the negotiations failed despite several offers. At the same time, Timothy Weah, OM’s right winger, expressed his enthusiasm for joining his new club and promised to advertise for Edon Zhegrova. A controversial transfer of Jeffeerson Savarino, attacking Brazil, to Lyon in 2024 proved unsuccessful, the player preferring to stay in Botafogo. OL also saw their female players back in training with a new staff, while waiting for the internationals to return after the European tournaments.

Liverpool’s interest in Bradley Barcola, a PSG winger, is well established, but the Parisian club does not intend to sell it at low prices. Lyon, which had not included a resale clause in Barcola’s contract, will not receive any added value in the event of a transfer. This raises questions about the club’s transfer strategy, recalling past mistakes such as MamaDou Sar. The absence of potential added value could be costly for OL, which could have benefited from a successful resale.

The conflict between beIN Sports and the Professional Football League (LFP) threatens the recovery of the championship. beIN Sports contests the restrictions imposed by the LFP on the broadcast of games, believing that these rules limit the value of its product. This situation complicates the visibility of clubs, especially for OL, which depends heavily on the broadcast of matches for its development. Moreover, the forthcoming arrival of the Ligue 1+ platform could increase tensions and change the landscape of sports broadcasting in France.
