Olympique Lyonnais faces a series of financial and legal problems. In addition to the ongoing difficulties associated with the transfer of Jeffeerson Savarino, for which Botafogo claims 64.6 million euros, the club also faces complications with the DNFG regarding the integration of some players. This situation is compounded by Botafogo’s threat of bringing the matter to justice if payment is not made within 30 days. Despite these challenges, OL continues to recruit with the arrival of Pavel Å ulc and Tyler Morton, thus strengthening its workforce for the coming season.
In parallel, the team is actively preparing for the championship recovery. Malick Fofana resumed collective training after a shock at the head, but her future at the club remains uncertain due to Everton’s growing interest. Nicolas Tagliafico, recently extended, seeks to reassure his physical condition before the start of the season. OL are also preparing for their last friendly match against the Getafe, a last rehearsal before the start of the League 1.
Pavel Å ulc’s arrival marks an important boost for the Lyon midfielder, joining a galaxy of Czech players who have marked the club’s history. This recruit is part of a strategy to strengthen the workforce, despite financial restrictions and numerous summer departures. OL, under the leadership of Paulo Fonseca, strives to rebuild a competitive team while navigating in a complex economic and legal context.
