L’Olympique Lyonnais will resume their trainings on Monday 7 July in Décines, in a period of uncertainty. This recovery comes only three days before a crucial hearing before the Appeal Board, where the club hopes to challenge the DNACG’s decision to relegate to League 2. Pending this verdict, a policy of austerity is being prepared, involving different recruitment and transfer strategies than in previous years. The names Malick Fofana and Lucas Perri are frequently mentioned, but other players may also be forced to leave the club in case of interesting offers.

The young midfielder Tanner Tessmann is a particularly scrutinized element. A year ago, he had a mixed first season, during which coach Pierre Sage gave him time to adapt after his passage to Serie B. Gradually, Tessmann won in playtime and joined the rotation under Paulo Fonseca. Although his performances have sometimes been considered discreet, his profile attracts the attention of several European clubs, including Atalanta Bergame.

Despite European interest, Tanner Tessmann would not want to leave OL and would prefer to continue its development in Lyon. The club’s situation, marked by this period of financial uncertainty, could influence decisions about its future. The outcome of the hearing before the appeal board will have a direct impact on the plans of Olympique Lyonnais and on the possibility for Tessmann to stay and flourish in the club.
