Fonseca: Lyon need to sell two to three players

Dia de Jogo — jornal desportivo29 August 2026 at 23:41

Portuguese coach Paulo Fonseca stated that Olympique Lyonnais need to sell two to three players before the summer market closes. This need arises as part of the club's strategy to balance the squad and meet financial requirements.

Fonseca publicly acknowledged this reality during his interventions to the media, showing awareness of the limitations the club faces during this transfer period.

The summer market represents a crucial period for the French club's plans, which intends to strengthen the team but must first free up space on the payroll and generate revenue through sales.

This situation puts pressure on Fonseca's work, who will have to manage the team with possible departures of important players before the start of the new season.
