Olympique Lyonnais is exploring signing Keito Nakamura and has made inquiries about him. The club considers the 26-year-old left winger a primary target to replace Malick Fofana, whose departure is considered increasingly probable because OL seeks to sell players to balance its accounts. Nakamura is under contract with Stade de Reims until June 2028 but has a negotiated exit agreement with the club's management following their relegation to Ligue 2. The Japanese international has 29 caps and 11 goals for his country. He had an individually successful 2025-2026 season, with 14 goals and 3 assists in the league. His current market value is €12.00m, according to Transfermarkt. Other clubs linked with a move for the player are Hull City, Beşiktaş, and Everton.
