Pavel Sulc, a versatile Czech attacking midfielder from Viktoria Plzen, is anticipated to join Lyon shortly for a fee of 7.5 million euros. After several weeks of negotiations, an agreement has been reached between Lyon and Viktoria Plzen regarding the transfer. Sulc is recognized for his dynamism, pressing ability, and finishing skills. Olympique Lyonnais (OL) is prepared to spend 7.5 million euros, excluding bonuses, to secure his last year of contract. Despite facing competition from Stuttgart, Lazio, and especially Brighton, who made a final offer last Friday, Sulc was reportedly persuaded by Lyon's project and is likely to sign a 4 or 5-year contract. The 24-year-old, with 14 international caps and 4 goals, could arrive in Lyon as early as this weekend and is capable of playing in all three positions behind the striker, although he prefers the left half-space. The move is in line with OL's strategy to enhance their attacking options, as reported by Matthieu Louis-Jean, OL's technical director, following their 4-0 friendly victory against Majorque.
