Olympique Lyonnais (OL) is intensifying its search for reinforcements for its wings, with a particular interest focused on Gonçalo Borges, FC Porto player. This is part of a broader strategy to strengthen the club in the Portuguese market, following the imminent arrival of Afonso Moreira. OL closely follows the development of Borges, 24 years old and having already worn the colours of the Portuguese national team of under 21 years old. Lyon interest is confirmed by specialized media sources, including TransferFeed, which indicate that the club has placed the player’s name on its list of tracks.

However, OL is not alone in this recruitment race. Other European clubs, such as Strasbourg, PSV Eindhoven and Botafogo, also show interest in Gonçalo Borges. Botafogo, in particular, confirmed its interest, as reported by the Olympic and Lyon media. Vision discussions between Matthieu Louis-Jean, Technical Director of OL, and the management of FC Porto have taken place, but they have not yet led to concrete progress.

Gonçalo Borges stood out this season by fighting 38 games all over the competition, scoring 2 goals and delivering 7 assists. Its versatility, allowing it to play on both left and right wings, is a major asset that has undoubtedly seduced Olympique Lyonnais. The club hopes that its technical qualities and experience will help strengthen the attack and defence of its wings.
