Yet another tricolor international joins OL. The Montpellier side Sakina Karchaoui is indeed committed this Wednesday with the Lyon club, and this for a single season. The player with 33 selections with the Blue, who had played only two minutes against Brazil at the 2019 World Cup in France, will change size and probably complete a record yet virgin professional.

"I am proud to be part of this family," said the young left-hander, who was coming to the end of her contract this summer at MHSC. OL are the best team in the world. It was the turning point in my career and I made the right decision. "

"His desire to go forward corresponds to OL"

His arrival will notably help to consolidate Amel Majri in his role now more advanced on the ground. Two days after the unexpected extensions of Dzsenifer Marozsan (until 2023) and Sarah Bouhaddi (2024), Lyon does not waste time on this transfer window.

"She offers us a lot of possibilities," rejoices her new trainer Jean-Luc Vasseur. His technique and his desire to go forward correspond to OL. We have to keep our status and stay at the top. We have an additional advantage with Sakina. It will once again be far from being the only one in the Lyon armada, which will aim in two months for a fifth consecutive Champions League.
