Paulo Fonseca’s Lyon close to loan for Roman Yaremchuk | OneFootball

Lyon, coached by Paulo Fonseca, are close to securing the loan of Roman Yaremchuk from Olympiacos for the rest of the season, with an option to buy for four million euros. The Ukrainian striker is expected in France for a medical.

According to Glorioso 1904, the 30-year-old Ukraine international is under contract with the Greek club until June 2028.

A champion in Greece, he has four goals and one assist this season. His European experience and national-team presence are valued by the Portuguese coach.

Lyon hope he can broaden their attacking options. Fonseca believes the forward could add fresh impetus in tougher fixtures in Ligue 1, Coupe de France and the Europa League.

Yaremchuk joined Benfica in 2021/22 from Gent for 17 million euros. He made 47 appearances, scored nine and supplied five assists, winning the Portuguese title in 2022/23. He is valued at two and a half million euros.
