In this enlarged group which includes many young players from Lyon, Martin Terrier, announced leaving for Rennes for several weeks, is very present. The Lyon striker is in fact courted by Florian Maurice, the new sports director of Stade Rennais and former head of the club’s recruitment unit chaired by Jean-Michel Aulas. It was Maurice who signed Martin Terrier two years ago when he was playing in Strasbourg.

Another player announced to be leaving is also present in the group of 33 players summoned by the staff of Rudi Garcia: Amine Gouiri. The young striker trained in Lyon would be close to packing his bags to join OGC Nice. OL sports director Juninho confirmed in an interview with Le Progrès this Sunday that his young 20-year-old striker had asked him to leave his training club.
“He is a pure talent, he has a sense of purpose, a great formation, with the French youth teams too. He came to me and said, ‘I need to play, I want to leave’. Even if I defend OL, I can understand. Sometimes you have the feeling that you are going to let go of a young person who could bring you, but this may be the time too. If he stays, he can end up 4th or 5th attacker, wasting his time …“detailed Juninho in the columns of the local newspaper.
