The young player, who will be 19 next week and was under contract until 2027, was also courted by Reims this summer, but the Lyon management had then closed the door.

Reims has made an offer of 10 million euros for Mamadou Sarr, who recently returned to Olympique Lyonnais after a six-month loan at Molenbeek. Despite the interesting offer, Olympique Lyonnais plans to keep Sarr and offer him playing time.
