Roman Yaremchuk's Transfer to Lyon

According to Novyny.live: Ukrainian striker Roman Yaremchuk has joined French club Olympique Lyonnais on a loan deal with an option to buy. The transfer was finalized on February 2, 2026. Lyon will pay a loan fee of €1.5 million, and the agreed purchase option for Yaremchuk's permanent contract is set at €5 million.

Yaremchuk's Career Path

Lyon becomes Yaremchuk's next career step after he joined Greek side Olympiacos in the summer of 2024. His contract with Olympiacos remains valid until 2028. In the current season, the forward has made 15 appearances, scoring 4 goals and providing 1 assist. At Lyon, Yaremchuk will wear the number 77 shirt.

This move signals Lyon's intent to strengthen their squad with a proven goalscorer, offering Yaremchuk a significant platform in a major European league. The club is aiming to climb back into contention for top domestic finishes and European success. A successful spell in France could revitalize Yaremchuk's career and enhance his prospects for a recall to the Ukrainian national team, providing a fresh challenge after his time in Greece.
