Olympique Lyonnais saw an attempt to recruit Thomas Lemar disappear due to financial constraints. The offensive environment of Atlético Madrid, transferred from AS Monaco in 2018 for 70 million euros, was courted by OL while it remained engaged until 2027. However, his high salary, which the Lyon club considered uninsurable, made impossible. Despite a certain interest on the part of several clubs in the Liga, Lemar should remain in Spain in the hope of finding a sports project that will give him a more regular playing time. Trained in OL between 2014 and 2018, the 29-year-old also had Reserve Team experiences and then moved to Atlético Madrid.

In parallel to this situation, Lucas Margueron, a 24-year goaltender, formalized his arrival at the Rodez AF. After leaving the Clermont Foot 63 in 2023, the doorman, who also played in Belgium with RFC Seraing, joined the Aveyron club until 2028. This signature is seen as a development opportunity for Margueron, who joins a club whose values of work and determination correspond to his profile. He should be number two on the team, which finished 14th in Ligue 2 last season.

The Rodez AF expressed its enthusiasm at the arrival of Lucas Margueron, highlighting his leadership, his football and his energy. This new adventure represents a return to France for the native of Décines, who will discover the League 2 championship. Margueron’s arrival is seen as a strengthening of the goalkeeper sector and a confirmation of Rodez AF’s ambition to advance in the top category. The club hopes that it will make its contribution to protect the Ruthenian cage and help the team achieve its goals.
