According to Fabrizio Romano, Olympique Lyonnais are one of three clubs interested in taking Manchester United midfielder Hannibal Mejbri (20) on loan in January.
The Italian journalist reports that Mejbri will not participate in the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Ivory Coast. The Tunisian international is attracting interest from three clubs in Europe. All three would want the midfielder to be available during January and February, hence the uncertainty surrounding Mejbri’s AFCON participation.
Manchester United will allow Mejbri to leave on loan. Lyon are interested in taking the Tunisian international on loan until the end of the season. Les Gones are looking to recruit considerably in January, in order to stave off relegation to Ligue 2. However, OL could face competition for Mejbri’s signature. Sevilla and Freiburg also both have an interest in the midfielder, who is currently negotiating a contract extension with formative club Manchester United. His current deal expires at the end of the season, although there is an option to extend for a further year included in his contract.
