Market16 Aug 2027

Olympique Lyonnais get their man

The chase for Vitinha ended with $49.6M changing hands and Paris Saint-Germain out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

Market16 Aug 2027

Olympique Lyonnais say no — this time

The offer from SM Caen for Abner Vinicius was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Market16 Aug 2027

Fallou Fall hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Olympique Lyonnais can pretend not to have heard.

Squad16 Aug 2027

A row about effort at Olympique Lyonnais

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Pavel Šulc was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad16 Aug 2027

A falling-out at Olympique Lyonnais

Nicolás Tagliafico and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Loan watch16 Aug 2027

Noah Nartey counts the days

“I watch every Olympique Lyonnais game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Grenoble Foot 38 runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Market16 Aug 2027

Ernest Nuamah placed on the list

Olympique Lyonnais have made Ernest Nuamah available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

The dugout16 Aug 2027

When it matters, Clinton Mata plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Looking ahead16 Aug 2027

Omari Kellyman goes back to face RC Strasbourg

Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Omari Kellyman’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Olympique Lyonnais needing him to play as if none of it matters.

In brief

  • Squad Vitinha needs a bigger stage
  • Squad Vitinha banks a contract that will last him
  • The dugout Mohamed Achi has been promised minutes

Squad22 Mar 2027

Ibrahim Halilou Mouhaman is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 22 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad22 Mar 2027

Words at Olympique Lyonnais training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Pavel Šulc is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad22 Mar 2027

A falling-out at Olympique Lyonnais

Nicolás Tagliafico and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Player ratings22 Mar 2027

Both jobs done by Tyler Morton — 6.63

A midfielder is measured on whether the team functions when he is on the pitch, which is nearly impossible to see and completely obvious in retrospect. 13 actions, 6.63, and a manager who will not be substituting him again in a hurry.

Match20 Mar 2027

Loïs Openda’s goal not enough for Olympique Lyonnais

Loïs Openda scored, and precious little else went right: 1‑2 to AJ Auxerre, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Player ratings22 Mar 2027

Both jobs done by Nicolás Tagliafico — 6.93

A midfielder is measured on whether the team functions when he is on the pitch, which is nearly impossible to see and completely obvious in retrospect. 9 actions, 6.93, and a manager who will not be substituting him again in a hurry.

Squad22 Mar 2027

Fallou Fall signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Fallou Fall commits to Olympique Lyonnais for another 4 years.

Boardroom22 Mar 2027

Nobody left the Olympique Lyonnais dressing room in a hurry

The door stayed shut a long time after the final whistle. What was said in there is between them; whether it worked is between them and Saturday.

The dugout22 Mar 2027

The view from the dugout

“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 1‑2 defeat, delivered by Émile Gérard to a room that had heard them before.

In brief
