Saïd Benrahma leaving Olympique Lyonnais?

Saïd Benrahma has a concrete offer from Neom, the leader of the Saudi Arabian second division. Olympique Lyonnais is open to his departure if financial proposals meet their expectations.

Saïd Benrahma has received a firm offer from Neom, a club in Saudi Arabia. The offer remains under consideration. Benrahma made his move to Olympique Lyonnais last winter following a dramatic transfer that was finalized after the official closure of the winter transfer window. He was permanently acquired during the summer transfer window for a fee of 20 million euros. This season, Benrahma faces heightened competition from Malick Fofana and is affected by the financial challenges that Olympique Lyonnais is experiencing. The club is compelled to sell players to balance its finances and to lift the recruitment ban imposed by the DNCG. As a result, Benrahma is considered a prime candidate for departure to aid the club's financial recovery.

The Saudi club Neom made a loan offer with a mandatory purchase option exceeding 7 million euros for Olympique Lyonnais' attacking midfielder Saïd Benrahma. The offer was rejected by the Rhone club. Additionally, the Algerian international was not interested in the project.

Said Benrahma is valued at 15 million euros and has a salary of 5 million EUR (gross).

Said Benrahma is another player linked with a potential move away from Lyon. His sale is part of the club's plan to alleviate financial pressures, and there is potential interest from Premier League clubs.
