Keito Nakamura joins Olympique Lyonnais on a four-year transfer deal

Olympique Lyonnais signed Japan international Keito Nakamura from Stade de Reims on Wednesday evening. The transfer followed the formal closure of the French summer window, with the club utilizing a joker rule that permits internal moves between French teams. Nakamura joins on a four-year contract in a deal potentially worth €19 million including bonuses. Stade de Reims secured a 12.5% sell-on clause as part of the agreement. The move was prompted by the late departure of Malick Fofana from Olympique Lyonnais. By completing the transaction on Wednesday, the club ensured the winger is registered for their upcoming UEFA Europa League campaign.
