For the fifth time in a row, the team, which has become the champion of France, has further strengthened its lineup and attracted Kim Kallstrom, the safety of the Swedish national team, to the team.
The 23-year-old Swede was the leader of "Rennes" last season and helped the club to take the 7th place in the "Ligue 1" championship. However, the player has now decided to leave the team and move to the most powerful French club of recent times. According to the player's agent, Kallstrom is currently undergoing a medical examination in Lyon and will soon be officially introduced to the Lyon fans.
"Everything has already been agreed, and the official contract should be signed this Monday," said the Swedish agent Roger Ljungas.
The Swede himself, who will soon go to the World Cup in Germany with his national team, did not hide his joy when joining the new team.
"While the official contract has not yet been signed, I don't want to say too much, but I am very happy to represent a club like Lyon," said Kallstrom.
"When I found out that Lyon was interested in me, I never doubted for a moment whether I wanted to move to this club. This is a team where I can fight for titles and play in the UEFA Champions League," he added.
Lyon also announced that they are finalizing the details of the transfer with Toulalan, another safety, and it is almost certain that one or more of the current safety players will leave the champions of "Ligue 1" this summer.
For some time, the departure of the safety player of the Mali national team, Mahamadou Diarra, to one of the top European football clubs has been associated, but Lyon's management claims that the player is not for sale. In this case, the team would most likely be left by Jeremy Clement or someone else linked to the Paris Saint-Germain club.
