OL has just formalized a surprise departure. A young talent formed at the club will go into exile … but without cutting the cord with Lyon.
In Lyon, behind the scenes of the transfer window sometimes reserve some surprises. This Wednesday morning, OL announced an unexpected departure, without drum or trumpet. If the eyes were on offensive reinforcements and possible XXL sales, it is a completely different profile that has packed. A young player trained at the club temporarily leaves the Rhône, without breaking his link with the Gones. A discreet but strategic movement, at a time when the club wants to capitalize on its young shoots.
OL lets a young talent spin … but keep an eye on him
The player in question is Justin Bengui. 20 -year -old goalkeeper from the Lyonnais training center,
He is officially loaned to the RWDM until June 2026. The Belgian club, resident of the elite, will be able to benefit from his services for two seasons. A loan without purchase option, a sign that OL still counts on it in the long term. The club's press release leaves no doubt: this departure is part of a development logic, with the ambition to see it come back more mature and seasoned.
Trained in Décines, Bengui never had the opportunity to shine with the pros. But his performances in reserve and his potential convinced the management to open a door to him … without closing it behind him. The Belgian context, known to advance young guards, should offer him precious minutes and increased responsibilities. An important course in a career that now requires concrete.

Discreet but symbolic departure for a player trained in Lyon
Chance of the calendar: the porter will play his first match in his new colors … against OL. The RWDM faces the Lyon club this Wednesday morning, in a friendly organized at GOLTC. A life -size test for Bengui, facing its former partners. The perfect opportunity to gauge your preparation, its state of mind and its ability to impose itself abroad.
This loan illustrates a clear trend: OL no longer wants to lose its talents for lack of playing time. By keeping a right of way on the future of Bengui, the club ensures a reliable option for the years to come. The player remains to transform this opportunity into a sustainable springboard.
