Burkina Faso defender Mohamed Ouédraogo, 23, is being linked with a move from Austrian Bundesliga side SCR Altach to French Ligue 1 club Lyon.
The left-back, who stands at 1.83m and wears number 29 for Altach, is the subject of growing transfer speculation, with reports in Austria and France suggesting Lyon are monitoring his situation closely. Transfermarkt lists his market value at €1.20m, a figure that could appeal to the French club as they look for cost‑effective defensive options.
Ouédraogo’s contract details at Altach are unclear, with no official expiry date publicly recorded, fuelling suggestions he could become a free agent in an upcoming window if no new deal is agreed. The lack of clarity over his deal has encouraged rumours that Lyon may try to move early to secure him, though the reported probability of the transfer remains marked only as “?”, underlining how formative discussions still appear to be.
A left‑footer who operates primarily at left-back, Ouédraogo has built his reputation in the Austrian Bundesliga with Altach. Born on 2 January 2003, he has developed into a modern full-back profile – comfortable defending wide areas and pushing forward from deep.
