Lyon rented a right back from Milan — Romano

French side Olympique Lyonnais has successfully completed negotiations for the transfer of a new player to the right-back position. The team will be joined by Zachary Atekame, who is on loan from Milan in Italy. According to the insider insider, the agreement between the clubs is exclusively a rental and is calculated until June 2027. An important aspect of this transfer is that the contract does not include either an option or an obligation to buy out the player. This means that Atekame is guaranteed to return to the Milan location at the end of the current season. As part of this agreement, the management of Lyon assumed full financial obligations regarding the maintenance of the player: the French club will pay him 100% of his salary until the end of the lease term. This move will allow Lyon to strengthen the right flank of the defense here and now, without burdening the club with a long-term commitment to a player for the future. It will be recalled that Zachary joined the Rossoneri in the summer of 2025 from Young Boys for 10 million euros. In the 2025/26 season, Atekame played 27 matches in Serie A, scoring 2 goals and providing 2 assists.
