It’s confirmed! Jibril Rejeb, Tunisia U20 international, will join Olympique Lyonnais’ reserve team next season. The young talent has reached an agreement with the Lyon board — a signing that highlights the growing interest of top French clubs in Tunisian football’s brightest prospects.
Jibril Rejeb is set to embark on a new chapter with Olympique Lyonnais. The young Tunisia U20 international has agreed terms with the Rhône club and will join OL’s reserve side from next season onwards. It’s a significant move for the promising talent, who arrives at one of France’s most respected academies, widely recognized for its ability to develop young players toward the professional level. The signing also reflects the scouting work Lyon has been quietly carrying out across Africa, and in Tunisia in particular.
For Tunisia U20, seeing one of their internationals attract interest from a Ligue 1 club is first and foremost a mark of Rejeb’s quality. Joining the OL reserve will give him access to elite training facilities, exposure to professional French football, and the perfect platform to accelerate his development. Tunisian football fans and African football watchers alike will be keeping a close eye on his progress in Lyon, hoping to see him climb the ladder and establish himself on the European football scene in the seasons to come.
