According to L'Équipe, Lyon have frozen all transfer activity, both arrivals and departures, until their Champions League play-off second leg against Fenerbahçe on Wednesday night.
The direction of their final week in the window will depend on the result of that match.
Whether this will be the biggest match in Groupama Stadium's history is unclear, but it already carries the heaviest stakes the arena has seen since it opened a decade ago.
Thirteen months after they almost fell into the second division, and probably much lower, weighed down by John Textor's antics, Lyon are one game from a Champions League return they had barely dared to envisage.
Malick Fofana is Lyon's most valuable player on the market.
