The game of musical chairs. Arrived in January 2022, Romain Faivre left Olympique Lyonnais for Bournemouth… and FC Lorient. Officially sold to the English club, the French striker will play for Les Merlus next season.
Olympique Lyonnais has confirmed the departure of Romain Faivre, who had requested “an exit voucher”. After a six-month loan to Lorient, the former Brestois wanted to stay in Brittany. Only, the Hakes did not seem to have the means to permanently secure the services of the 24-year-old player.
Not a problem in current football. Bournemouth, which shares the same owners as Lorient, has officially bought Romain Faivre. Moreover, in its press release, Olympique Lyonnais only speaks of the English club for the future of the French player. A transfer of 15 million euros and a percentage of 10% on any capital gain on resale.
You then have to continue your search on the FC Lorient website, which announces the player’s arrival for a season, in the form of a loan with no option to buy.
“I am obviously happy to return to FC Lorient for a full year, explains Romain Faivre. I took a lot of pleasure last season to evolve within this team, with this staff, in front of the Lorient supporters. My priority was to return to Lorient to continue the progress seen at the end of last season and thus pass a milestone in terms of collective and individual performance.
