Olympique Lyonnais formalized the arrival of Dominik Greif, a Slovak goaltender, from Majorca for a sum of 4 million euros, plus a potential bonus of 1.25 million euros. This new recruit is intended to bring competition to Rémy Descamps, the current incumbent, while raising questions about the division of roles within the group. The future of Mathieu Pattenillet, long regarded as the replacement for Anthony Lopes, is uncertain, despite his encouraging performances during his loan trips. Its departure seems likely this summer, with an estimated market value of 800,000 euros, which could allow OL to recover part of its initial investment.

At the same time, Olympique Lyonnais was the subject of a notable departure with Nemanja Matic, who left the club after a mutual agreement. The Serbian midfielder, whose salary was no longer suitable for the team’s finances, should join the promo Sassuolo in Serie A, under the direction of Fabio Grosso, former OL coach. This opportunity represents a new project for Matic, who must now negotiate a financial agreement to formalize its transfer.

Finally, Kévin Van Den Kerkhof, FC Metz player, is about to leave the club to join the Royal Charleroi SC in Belgium. The 29-year-old Algerian should enter into a loan with option of purchase, marking his return to the Belgian championship after having evolved in various Belgian clubs between 2017 and 2020. His departure could impact the composition of the Metz team, particularly in the next match against OL in Ligue 1.
