Olympique Lyonnais is currently facing significant financial challenges, forcing it to reduce its payroll and generate revenues. With this in mind, the club agreed to the transfer of Lucas Perri, a holder of the previous season, who should formalize his departure within the next few hours. This departure is part of a broader divestment strategy, following the footsteps of Lacazette, Cherki, Almada and Tagliafico. The situation in the goaltender position is uncertain, with Rémy Descamps also likely to leave the club, while Mathieu Patouillet could have an opportunity. OL also entered a friendly match against Hamburg SV, with a team composition that favours experienced players, with the exception of young Khalis Meraf.

The news of Olympique Lyonnais is very present on social networks, with some short videos and excerpts from the show “As long as there will be Gone”. The club is also active on LinkedIn, Facebook and X, where articles refer to its website. Coach Paulo Fonseca confirmed his intention to present a team with players accustomed to the high level in the match against Hamburg, despite the integration of young talents like Meraf. The team’s composition for this friendly match includes Descamps, Kumbedi, Mata, Niakhaté, Abner, Merah, Tessmann, Tolisso, Maitaland-Niles, Mikautadze, and Fofana.

The story of the OL player Paul Akuoku is marked by missed opportunities and controversial tactical choices from Paulo Fonseca. After a bold bet against Manchester United that resulted in a limited presence of the player, Akuoku failed to win in the following matches and was not selected for the summer internship. His future at the club seems uncertain, despite a persistent rumor about a Getafe interest. Finding a club for the player is difficult, however, and his departure from OL is increasingly likely.
