Like every summer, the transfer window will get carried away in its last days and here we are.
The most active clubs are above all those who missed their start to the championship and start to panic after only three days.
Lyon, no victory in three outings, is in pole position in this area.
OL have just hired attacking midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri until 2024. A transfer valued at 11 million euros (including 5 million in bonuses) for the Liverpool funds he joined in 2018. At 29 years old, it has 96 selections with Switzerland, which eliminated France in the round of 16 of the Euro.
Lyon should not stop there with needs also in central defense with the current departure of Marcelo and still in attack with a versatile profile, passer and scorer.
The Team puts forward the name of Gaëtan Laborde, 27 years old.

Rennes, the biggest spending club in the transfer window after PSG and the 60 million euros to buy Achraf Hakimi from Inter Milan, could overtake the capital club after the signing of Lovro Majer, 23, Croatian attacking midfielder from Dinamo Zagreb, which appears imminent. The transaction would close around 12 million euros. The Bretons also keep a close eye on another environment, the Brestois Romain Faivre, 23 years old. But all the spotlight is on Eduardo Camavinga.
The situation has not changed in recent hours: the young prodigy from Rennes, 18, would like to join PSG one year from the end of his contract but Paris has not made any offer for the moment at Stade Rennais. Already very supplied in the middle, the club of the capital does not fundamentally need the young International, but probably does not want to miss the opportunity to recruit perhaps a future nugget, French moreover. , at a still reasonable price - around 30 million euros.
Paris also retains an interest in the left-sided market. Obviously, part of his news concerns the Kylian Mbappé file, for the moment very happy at PSG. The Spanish media believe that the world champion is preparing an imminent arrival at Real Madrid. But no negotiations took place between the formation of President Florentino Perez and that of Nasser Al-Khelaïfi. The more the days go by, the more its retention in the French capital seems more than probable. Because Paris could not replace it in such a short time. However, PSG has not been looking for an attacker in recent days. The transfer window closes in a week, August 31 at midnight.
