According to information obtained by Foot Market, the Lyon leaders are eyeing Rennes to improve the performance of their defense. They would particularly appreciate Hamari Traoré, who plays as a right-back and has taken part in 22 games this season, under the tunic of the Breton club.

The player has only six months of contract

The deal shouldn't be easy to close. Firstly because Bruno Genesio relies on him and should not be favorable to his departure. Then because it is not obvious thatl’OL has a large sum to crack the Breton leaders, accustomed to English, German or Spanish XXL offers. But one element points in the direction of a possible transfer: the Malian international (43 caps, 1 goal) only has six months of contract left. However, this winter transfer window is the last possibility for the Rennais to obtain compensation for his departure.

The player's opinion should weigh. But it is not said that the native of Bamako is thrilled at the idea of ​​​​leaving a club in the race for the podium for another point in the 9thand ranking position. OL indeed seemmired in a difficult situationand and the Laurent Blanc effect has not yet taken place. His team remains on 2 defeats and 1 draw, in Ligue 1.

OL would also try to strengthen their midfield. In recent days, the Lyon club has been associated on behalf of Brazilian Joao Gomes, which evolves under the colors ofFlamengo. Only concern, the player seems to favor England.

The next match of the Lyonnais is scheduled against Chambéry, in the Coupe de France. Laurent Blanc's men will then play against Ajaccio, in Ligue 1.
