After the approval of its budget by the DNCG, Olympique Lyonnais is now focusing on summer mercato. The club plans to revive Thomas Lemar, currently in difficulty at Atlético Madrid. Although OL finances remain prudent despite successful budgetary validation, management favours experienced, talented and above all affordable profiles. Lemar, who experienced a difficult season marked by recurrent injuries and limited play time, is considered a potential target. His contract with Atlético Madrid extended until 2027, and he might be willing to leave the club, potentially supported by OL.

Another player who draws attention is Mariano Daza, whose transition to OL in 2017-2018 was particularly successful with 21 goals and 5 assists in 45 games. This performance even aroused the interest of Real Madrid, which had offered it an opportunity. However, his career was hampered by injuries and increased competition within the Madrid club. After a season at Atlético Seville, he is now free of any contract and performs tests with the Deportivo Alavés in Liga, in the hope of returning to this level.

The Deportivo Alavés confirmed Mariano Daza’s arrival for the pre-season, highlighting her impressive record and experience. This opportunity represents a new start for the attacker, who had shone with the Castilla of Real Madrid. Despite injuries that hindered her progress, Mariano Daza has always been a promising player. His return to Liga could enable him to revive his career and prove his worth.
