Mahamadou Diawara wishes to leave Olympique Lyonnais this winter due to limited playing time. Lyon had previously rejected approaches from Nantes, considering their reliance on the young midfielder. However, given Diawara's limited playtime, Lyon is now open to a loan, although a permanent transfer is also possible. Some teams interested in the summer remain interested.

Nantes has expressed interest in acquiring Mahamadou Diawara from Olympique de Lyon. The club is one of several looking to take advantage of Lyon's financial situation to sign the young talent.

Journalist Nabil Djellit says Nantes are keen on signing Mahamadou Diawara.
