OL target experienced striker as bloated squad prompts exits, Pavel Sulc among possible departures?

OL are trying to recruit an experienced centre-forward, but must trim the squad. According to Le Progres, in a complicated market they could take the first attractive offer, with a surprise exit potentially involving Pavel Sulc.

Olympique Lyonnais underlined their depth by beating Saint-Gall 6-3. The display suggested there is scope to improve further.

Several World Cup players are due back, with Pavel Sulc expected to be the first, apparently on Monday. That return cycle sharpens the focus on numbers.

The squad is viewed as too large and too costly. Trimming it is seen as necessary alongside any incoming business.

OL continue to pursue an experienced number nine while weighing departures to cut costs.
