Olympique Lyonnais is preparing for a new season with a constrained budget, which requires a recruitment strategy focused on low-cost players. The club actively seeks to strengthen its staff, particularly in central defence with tracks like Danilho Doekhi and Daniele Rugani, while monitoring the evolution of situations such as Duje Caleta-Car’s potential departure to Real Sociedad and Mamadou Sarr’s loan to Strasbourg. OL has also strengthened its ties with the Congo, signing a four-year partnership to develop football in the country. Despite the financial difficulties, the club maintains an ambition of competitiveness, with a goal of being above its current level in League 1.
The summer workshop in Austria was marked by intense physical preparations and discussions on mercato. In particular, OL explored the option of recruiting Domiink Greif, Mallorca goaltender, although the initial negotiations were rejected. The club also took steps to ease its payroll, with departures and loans from players like Lucas Paquetรก and Mamadou Sarr. The atmosphere at the internship remains positive despite concerns related to the financial situation of the club, with a willingness to focus on work and make the most of the infrastructure and staff.
In parallel to these movements, OL confirmed the extension of the contract of Nicolas Tagliafico, a key player for the team. The club continues to explore opportunities to fill vacancies, especially in attack and midfield, while remaining vigilant about low-cost mercato opportunities. The aim is to build a competitive team capable of competing for a qualification in the Champions League, while respecting the budgetary constraints imposed by the DNCG.
