The year 2025 therefore ends with a victory for Olympique Lyonnais. Excellent in the Europa League, Paulo Fonseca’s men have alternated between good and bad in Ligue 1 in recent weeks. 5th with 27 pts, OL, however, remains in the running for qualification for the European Cup.
This winter, MichΓ¨le Kang does not intend to sit idly by. Looking for reinforcement, the president of the Rhone club wants to attract an attacker. Endrick’s loan should cost Lyon β¬3m. A sum which does not slow down the South Korean, who intends to step up the pace for a midfielder.
Pablo Fonseca wants to recruit a midfielder
Himad Abdelli is one of the great architects of the very good start to the season at SCO Angers. Indisputable holder of Alexandre Dujeux, the Algerian midfielder has now left for Morocco to compete in CAN 2025. It is possible that his return to France will be shaken by a transfer.
According to the Team, the OL transfer window wants to recruit Abdelli. A file far from easy, even if the Algerian sees his contract end next June. The urgency of selling its midfielder should push the SCO to sell Abdelli. Estimated cost of the transfer? Less than β¬2M.
A hell of a deal for Lyon, which would also be ahead of OM. As a reminder, Mehdi Benatia has always had a weakness for Himad Abdelli. However, it is in Lyon that the Algerian attacking midfielder could arrive to compete with Pavel Sulc and anticipate the departure of Tanner Tessmann.

Himad Abdelli (26 years old) could be successful, 6 months before the end of his contract with Angers! π©πΏ
Discussions would be initiated with the player, it would remain to find an agreement with the SCO.
Very good Ligue 1 player!β¦ pic.twitter.com/7XDxnAwzEh

As a Saint-Etienne supporter, I have not lost hope of seeing the Greens return to the top. In the meantime, I’m relying on other historic French football clubs to take my trouble patiently, and thus admire clubs like RC Lens.
