Georges Mikautadze could leave Olympique Lyonnais this summer, attracting the interest of several European clubs. The current situation of the club, combined with the interest of AS Roma, feeds this trend. Clubs such as Galatasaray and Fenerbahçe, as well as the newly promoted Sunderland, also showed their interest in the 24-year-old attacker. A resale clause agreement with FC Metz could even allow the latter to recover part of the sum of the sale. Mikautadze, under contract until June 2028, achieved a promising first season in Lyon, with 17 goals and 9 assists in 47 appearances.
At the same time, Amel Majrifai, a OL player, is a pillar of the French women’s team for the Euro 2025. Despite a small physical concern, it is now available for the tournament. The presence of her daughter, Maryam, helps her stay focused and juggle her roles as a mother and a sportswoman. The Fédération Française de Football has set up a system that facilitates this situation, with a dedicated space for children and assistance for custody.
Majrifai emphasizes the importance of the players’ independence and prefers to accompany them rather than constantly monitor them. She believes that the key to France’s success in this competition is mutual support and trust within the team. The Federation strives to create an environment conducive to the well-being of athletes, while maintaining the balance and collective framework of the team.
