The Olympique Lyonnais (OL) club faces a major challenge in replacing its goaltender, Lucas Perri, who could join Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). OL targets DomiNik Greif, currently a LOSC player, and recently made an important offer to the Majorka club to get its services. However, the LOSC also expressed its interest in Greif, creating competition between the two French clubs. Greif now has the choice between OL and LOSC, two teams involved in the Europa League next season, and will have to decide whether he prefers to be coached by Paulo Fonseca or Bruno Genesio, and whether he surrounds himself with his former teammates.
OL made an encouraging pre-season, with a record of three wins, a draw and a defeat over five games. Seven players were particularly successful, demonstrating offensive diversity and improved team automation and balance. The technical staff remains vigilant to refine the settings before the start of the championship on August 16, and a final game of preparation against the Getafe is planned to confirm the good impressions of the pre-season. The potential arrival of reinforcements like Tyler Morton and Pavel Sulc could also influence the coach’s tactical choices.
In addition to the search for a goaltender, OL is also interested in the 20-year-old central defender Jan Ziolkowski, currently playing in the Legia Warsaw. Several European clubs, including AS Rome and Udinese, made offers for the player, with AS Rome even offering five million euros. Ziolkowski is considered a great hope of Polish football, with a solid profile, good head and comfortable ball to foot. Legia hopes to raise the auction in this summer mercato, and the next few days will be decisive for the future of the young player.
