Lyon Must Activate Purchase Option for Martín Satriano

Martín Satriano’s time at Olympique Lyonnais has been disappointing, with only 1 goal and 1 assist in 12 matches. The Uruguayan forward, who struggled upon returning from injury at Brest, was expected to revive his form in Lyon, particularly in a team with little competition in his position.

The loan deal, which included a €5 million purchase option, was intended to address Lyon’s offensive challenges. Unfortunately, it has not yielded the desired results. According to reports from L’Équipe, Lyon is obliged to activate the purchase option due to a clause in the agreement. This option will be automatically exercised if Lyon maintains its professional status this summer, which appears likely. This news may not sit well with some supporters.
