Mario Lemina is reportedly drawing interest from Olympique Lyonnais, according to L’Équipe. The 19-year-old Franco-Gabonese midfielder, who has featured in the starting lineup for Lorient several times in the second part of the season, might find himself with Les Gones in the upcoming season. Lemina recently signed his first professional contract and has shown promise during his appearances for Lorient.
Having played 14 matches for Lorient, Lemina is currently preparing for the U20 World Cup with France. Lyon scouts have been keeping an eye on him, and his potential move to the club could be a significant step in his career.
Lemina’s breakthrough came when Christian Gourcuff gave him a chance to start in a Coupe de France match against Sedan, which turned out to be a successful experience. Despite some injury setbacks, the powerful midfielder has left a positive impression on observers, showcasing his potential for the future.
Standing at 1.82m and weighing 76kg, Lemina began his football journey at a young age and joined the Lorient training center in 2008. If the move to Olympique Lyonnais materializes, it could mark a new chapter in Lemina’s promising career.
