Olympique Lyonnais are stepping up their transfer plans ahead of a crucial summer, with Farès Chaïbi emerging as a top target. However, strong competition and a high price tag could complicate the move.
Olympique Lyonnais are already planning for a decisive summer, and one name keeps coming up: Farès Chaïbi. The Algerian international has been impressing with Eintracht Frankfurt and continues to rise. Born in Lyon, he maintains a strong connection with the city, adding an emotional dimension to a potential transfer. With Lyon struggling in Ligue 1 in recent weeks, the club is actively seeking solutions to rebuild.
According to journalist Ekrem Konur, Chaïbi is firmly on Lyon’s shortlist, but negotiations won’t be easy. The midfielder is under contract with Eintracht Frankfurt until 2028 and is valued at around €40 million. With several European clubs also interested, competition is heating up. Lyon will need to move decisively to land one of Africa’s most exciting talents.
