According to Africafoot, Olympique Lyonnais is targeting Wissem Chaouali. The club from Lyon is monitoring the Al Ettifaq defender with increasing attention and has decided to take action this summer, making him one of the preferred options to reinforce their defensive sector. Lyon’s officials have intensified their scouting in recent weeks and have made initial contacts to assess the possibility of the transfer. The profile of the 20-year-old defender is particularly liked by OL’s recruitment unit. Discussions between the various parties are anticipated to continue over the coming days to evaluate the terms of a potential transfer.

Wissem Chaouali is attracting interest from several European clubs. Two Ligue 1 clubs, Olympique Lyonnais and LOSC Lille, have made considerable progress in discussions for a potential transfer of the 19-year-old Tunisian defender during this summer transfer window. Negotiations with both clubs are at a very advanced stage, with the parties working on the final details of an operation that could be finalized in the coming days, unless circumstances change. Chaouali joined Al-Ettifaq FC in July 2025 and made 7 appearances in the Saudi First Division League during the 2025/2026 season. His current market value is €25k, according to Transfermarkt.
