MARSEILLE: NKOULOU COULD LEAVE FOR LYON IN FINAL HOURS OF THE TRANSFER WINDOW
Despite earlier firm resistance from Olympique de Marseille’s management, a surprise transfer of Nicolas Nkoulou to Olympique Lyonnais is now back on the table. According to L’Équipe, the Cameroonian international defender could be sold in the final hours of the transfer window.
Initially, Marseille had categorically refused to strengthen a direct Ligue 1 rival by selling one of their key players. But as the transfer deadline nears, the club appears to be rethinking its stance, potentially tempted by a financially attractive offer from Lyon.
Nkoulou, who has been a defensive cornerstone for OM, remains one of the most consistent players in the squad. His departure would be seen as a major blow to the team’s defensive stability, especially with the club already navigating a challenging start to the season.
For many OM fans, the move would be difficult to digest, particularly given the historic rivalry between Marseille and Lyon. If finalized, the transfer could spark both sporting and emotional consequences for the club and its supporters.
