According to Walid Acherchour, a consultant for RMC Sport, the OM season could be facilitated by the busy schedule for cohabitation between Amine Gouiri and Pierre-Emérik Aubameyang. However, he highlighted a potential mental challenge for Gouiri, recalling his past difficulties in managing competition in Nice and Rennes. Despite this, Acherchour remains confident, considering that Gouiri perfectly corresponds to De Zerbi’s project, and that competition will be a positive test for the French striker.

Olympique Lyonnais actively pursues its summer mercato with the aim of strengthening its offensive sector. After several departures, the club is looking for an additional attacker and a right winger, considering that the staff is 85-90% ready. Sport Director Matthieu Louis-Jean confirmed that more arrivals are expected, stressing the importance of filling the lack of experience in attack, with George Mikautadze as the only experienced pre-centre. The situation of Nemanja Matic, close to a departure, is also being discussed.

As for Edon Zhegrova, the Kosovar winger could eventually stay in Lille. Initially in the start list for OM, the player would no longer be inclined to leave the club, and Lille now seems to count on him for the coming season. President Olivier Létang confirmed that the conditions for a start are no longer in place, and that the club favours the retention of talented players already present. This decision represents a significant shift from the original expectations for the player.
