According to a claim in the Algerian media, Lyon are looking to keep Saïd Benrahma beyond this season. The winger joined the French side on loan from West Ham United during the last transfer window.
It is being reported on the latest developments regarding the future of Benrahma at West Ham and they say he wants to remain at Lyon after a successful loan period with the Ligue 1 club.
It’s claimed Lyon are also keen for the Algeria international to remain with them and they are ready to activate the option to buy clause, reportedly set at €14.4m. Another clause said to be in the agreement is that Lyon would have to pay the Hammers 10% of any future profit.
Initially joining on loan from Brentford during the 2020/21 season, Benrahma had struggled in this campaign to get regular football at West Ham. Subsequently he was loaned out to Lyon at the end of the last window for a reported €6m fee.
Since arriving in France, the player has made 13 appearances, scoring 2 goals. He’s contracted to the Premier League side until June 2026.
