Overview
- The club announced on Monday, June 15 that Kaïl Boudache has signed a five-year professional contract with Olympique Lyonnais running to June 30, 2031.
- Boudache joins on a free transfer after his contract with OGC Nice expired and Lyon completed a medical with the player in the weeks before the announcement.
- The winger is a 20-year-old Algeria U23 international who made his professional debut in January 2026 in a UEFA Europa League match and played 19 times for Nice this season, scoring three goals.
- Lyon presented Boudache as its first summer signing and said the move fits a strategy of recruiting young players with high potential for long-term integration into the squad.
- The low-cost signing gives Boudache a clear pathway to first-team minutes in preseason and gives Lyon a tied long-term asset that could reduce transfer expenditure while increasing competition for wide attacking roles.
