Olympique Lyonnais are reportedly interested in the 31-year-old midfielder, who has become surplus to requirements at Marseille, despite previously unsuccessful attempts to sign him. ( superwin636 )

However, OL has been in talks with OM in the past few days, with discussions progressing well before announcing a transfer in the form of a ‘Joker Transfer’ (or a transfer of players within Ligue 1, where each club has a quota of 1 player per team).

A Lyon statement confirmed that Veretout has signed a contract until mid-2026, with the club paying Marseille €4m plus potential bonuses of €3m.

In addition , Lyon have attached a clause to give OM a 25 percent share in case the player is sold in the future.

It is a move that has all parties happy, with Lyon looking for Veretout’s experience to help them this season, while the player is also looking for playing time as he is surplus to requirements at OM, while Marseille are keen to let him go as they look to lower their wage bill.
