Lyon increase efforts to sign Mohamed Ouédraogo from SCR Altach

Olympique Lyonnais are intensifying their pursuit of Burkina Faso international Mohamed Ouédraogo, currently with SCR Altach. The 23-year-old defender has been a key player for his club, making 35 appearances last season, contributing four goals and three assists. Lyon aims to finalize transfers early this summer, having already signed Kail Boudache and expected to secure Julien Duranville from Borussia Dortmund and Mads Bidstrup from Red Bull Salzburg. Ouédraogo’s contract with Altach extends until the end of next season, placing Lyon in a competitive position against other interested clubs for his signature.
