Jordan Veretout, former midfielder of Fiorentina and Roma, has officially left Olympique Lyonnais to join Al-Arabi in Qatar. The transfer was confirmed by a video showing the player in the team's kit, followed by official announcements. Veretout has signed a two-year contract, lasting until June 30, 2027. Olympique Lyonnais announced the transfer fee as 500,000 euros, with a 50% sell-on clause for any future transfer. Veretout played 38 matches for Lyon since joining in September 2024. Al-Arabi welcomed him on Instagram with a post saying: 'Signed. Sealed. Ready to shine. Veretout is here!'

Jordan Veretout is not in the plans of coach Paulo Fonseca at Olympique Lione. According to RMC Sport, the French midfielder is set to leave Olympique Lione this summer. The 32-year-old former Roma player has reached an agreement with Al Arabi SC for a two-year contract until 2027. The transfer is imminent, and Olympique Lione will receive between 500,000 and 1 million euros. The club is eager to offload his significant salary, especially after recent financial issues with the DNCG, the financial control body of French football.

Jordan Veretout, the midfielder for Olympique Lyonnais, has been given permission to leave for Al-Arabi in the summer transfer window. He agreed with the Doha-based club on a future two-year contract. However, Al-Arabi refuses to pay any transfer fee to Lyon, causing a stalemate. Veretout is set to return to training with Lyon as the situation remains unresolved.

Michele Kang has decided not to retain players earning 200,000 euros per month, making it unlikely for Veretout to stay at Olympique Lyonnais even if the club remains in Ligue 1.
