Transfers from Lyon

Laurent Blanc could soon lose Karl Toko Ekambi, as well as Romain Faivre.

Disappointing, Olympique Lyonnais could see its group modified during this winter transfer window with several departures in particular.

Indeed, if Dejan Lovren has returned to the club, Karl Toko-Ekambi (30 years old, 19 games and 4 goals in L1 this season) could pack his bags for him.

Moreover, the Saudi club Al Shabab would have offered a loan with an option to buy for the Cameroonian international, as indicated by Foot Mercato.

Taken aback by his supporters, the latter would like to leave the club, like Romain Faivre (24 years old, 10 appearances in L1 this season), if we are to believe the words of Laurent Blanc.

“I spoke with Romain Faivre and he is a player I love, but he wants to leave. He’s not happy at Lyon, so we have to find a solution, but it’s hard because there’s a contract, a club that has bet a lot on Romain. In reflection, it’s not that simple so it’s a bit of a puzzle period. It’s difficult to retain a player who is not happy at Lyon, but that does not date from my arrival. I’ve only been here three months, Romain has been here for a year. We can change things, but it takes a lot of energy and both parties have to be okay. If the desire is not there, how do we do it? I tried to revive him, but he is not the only player in the squad. »

Laurent Blanc

As a reminder, the former Brest player was recruited for 17 million euros (bonus included) in January 2022.
