Looking for several reinforcements this winter, Olympique Lyonnais would look towards Manchester United. According to the journalist specializing in the transfer market Fabrizio Romano, Les Gones would like to recruit Hannibal Mejbri on loan until the end of the season. The Tunisian, not selected for the African Cup of Nations, is lacking playing time with the Red Devils. And he would be available to leave (provisionally) in January.
However, the Rhone team, which said it wanted to be active during the transfer window, is not alone on the file. Indeed, Sevilla FC and SC Friborg are also said to be interested in the 20-year-old player. In 2022-2023, Hannibal Mejbri had a good season in the Championship with Birmingham City (38 matches, 1 goal, 5 assists). This season, he has only taken part in 5 Premier League matches (1 goal) with Manchester United. Discussions are reportedly underway between his entourage and Mancunian management to extend his contract which (currently) ends next June.
