Olympique Lyonnais (OL) starts its summer preparation this Thursday, July 7, with a staff of 29 players, despite continuing uncertainty about its division for the next season. This delicate financial and administrative situation only adds to the sports ambiguity of the club. OL awaits clarification of their relegation situation at a crucial meeting with the DNCG scheduled for 10 July. Coach Paulo Fonseca has a full group, including guards like Lassine Diarra, Rémy Descamps and Mathieu Patouillet, as well as ten defenders including Abner and Clinton Mata. The team also has ten terrain backgrounds, with the possible departure of Jordan Veretout, and an attack composed of Malick Fofana, Georges Mikautadze and Alejandro Gomes-Rodriguez, despite rumours of transfers.

Rémy Rio’s 37-year goaltender experience is a major asset for the Paris FC, where he has been playing since 2024. Trained at OL between 1995 and 2005, he returned to Lyon in 2022 before joining Paris FC. His visit to Paris FC was marked by his participation in the team that finished second in Ligue 2, thus ensuring the promotion of the club in Ligue 1. Rio is recognized for its leadership and experience, bringing high-level knowledge to young players. The Paris FC formalized the extension of its contract until June 2026, highlighting its essential role in the team.

The Paris FC management plans to recruit another goaltender to compete with Obed N’Kambadio and potentially become its lining. This possible arrival could relegate Rémy Rio to third place in the hierarchy of guards. Despite this, its long-term commitment demonstrates the club’s confidence in its role as a valuable framework and support, both on and off the ground. Rio continues its adventure with the Paris FC for the 2025-2026 season, ready to share its experience and leadership with young talent.
