Last in Ligue 1, OL are worrying their fans more than ever. The next winter transfer window could nevertheless allow us to make saving adjustments.

OL fell back into their mistakes this Sunday evening in Ligue 1 by losing to LOSC at Groupama Stadium. Last in the championship on the evening of the 13th day, the Rhone club will also have to face a hellish schedule, including two upcoming trips to Lens and Marseille. To make matters worse, a decisive meeting against the DNCG will take place this Tuesday. In this truly difficult context, OL will also have to prepare for their near future. This will require strong decisions during the winter transfer market. Among the players who are of great interest to the Lyon management: Baptiste Santamaria.

Santamaria, OL are not laughing

According to information from Foot Market, the Stade Rennais midfielder is indeed a priority for OL. The player had already been approached by Lyon at the very end of the summer transfer window, without success against the Bretons who were not sellers. But the situation has changed and Santamaria has been barred by competition for several weeks. The media specifies that this track was not initiated by Fabio Grosso but rather by Matthieu Louis-Jean, recruitment director of Olympique Lyonnais. Because it appears more and more clear that Les Gones are starting to make decisions while ignoring the presence of Fabio Grosso, whose future is more uncertain than ever. At the end of his contract in June 2025, Baptiste Santamaria is estimated at 12 million euros but Rennes could let go for less than that given his playing time. OL should for their part find out more about their financial capabilities after the Tuesday day.
