Published on: 28 August 2024

French Ligue 1 outfit Olympique Lyon will not hesitate to cash in on Ghana international Ernest Nuamah this summer.

The Black Stars winger has emerged as a top transfer target for Premier League duo Everton and Nottingham Forest as well as two Saudi Pro League outfits.

Nuamah’s outstanding performance for club and country has caught the attention of the aforementioned clubs, who are keen to secure his services before the transfer window shuts.

The Ligue 1 club splashed €28.5 million to secure the permanent signing of Nuamah from RWD Molenbeek in July following a successful loan spell last season.

According to French tabloid L'equipe, Lyon will oppose Nuamah’s departure as they seeks to improve its precarious financial situation, while its loft has struggled to empty so far.

However, the Ligue 1 giants has slapped a price tag of €30 million price tag on the highly-rated winger.

The former Nordjaelland star is currently under contract until the summer of 2028.

Meanwhile, the Ghanaian international has ruled out the possibility of joining the Saudi Pro League as he prefers to stay in Europe.

Nuamah was forced off with an injury at the weekend when Lyon succumbed to a 2-0 defeat to AS Monaco in the French Ligue 1.
