Olympique Lyonnais Faces Key Decision as Striker Bafétimbi Gomis Set to Depart
With Bafétimbi Gomis’ contract at Olympique Lyonnais coming to an end, the club faces the challenge of replacing one of its most prolific forwards ahead of the new season.
Gomis, a vital attacking presence for Les Gones, will not be extending his stay at the Rhône-based club, leaving a significant void in the squad. The club’s management and newly appointed coach Hubert Fournier are already assessing potential replacements, as reported by Le Progrès.
Fournier, who recently took over from Rémy Garde, along with the recruitment team, have shortlisted three candidates: Vincent Aboubakar of Lorient, Wissam Ben Yedder from Toulouse, and Mustapha Yatabaré of Guingamp. Each striker brings a unique style and set of attributes that could suit Lyon’s tactical approach.
The club is currently evaluating which player would best fill the gap left by the Franco-Senegalese forward and contribute to the team’s ambitions for the upcoming campaign.
As Lyon navigates this critical transfer decision, fans will be eager to see who will lead the line in the post-Gomis era.
