OL has identified its future central defender and the track leads to an unexpected championship.
With the recent departure of Duje Caleta-Car to Real SociedadOL actively seeks its replacement. The Lyonaise recruitment unit identified its priority target and now scrutinizes an unusual championship for the Rhone club. A track that fits perfectly with the new economic philosophy imposed by the DNCG.
A nugget from the East to relaunch OL?
The surprise comes from Warsaw. OL closely follows Jan Ziolkowski, a 20 -year -old central defender evolving in Legia, the largest Polish club. This 1m94 colossus has an ideal profile: young, promising and affordable financially. Valored at only 4 million euros, the right -hander has a contract until June 2028 with the Varsovien club.
International in the Polish youth teams, Ziolkowski already establishes himself as an indisputable holder in Legia. He continues the qualifying matches of Europa League and demonstrates a remarkable precocity for his age. His performances also attract the eyes, since two Spanish clubs would also be on his traces according to the local press.
Ziolkowski, the Polish bet of a rebuilding OL
Recruitment that sticks to the new strategy
This track perfectly illustrates the turn taken by Matthieu Louis-Jean. “Off -price players are over”, Had he hammered recently. OL must now
“Find opportunities on the market » et
“Position themselves on players with high potential”. Ziolkowski ticks all these boxes: young, talented and in the club's financial strings.
The file is nevertheless delicate. Spanish competition could raise the auctions, and Legia will not sell its nugget. But Lyon relies on his sports project and his ability to develop young talents to convince the Polish defender. A bet that is part of this “Third phase” of the transfer window announced by the Lyon management.
