Last summer, after narrowly escaping the descent into hell, the Olympique Lyonnais freed itself from John Textor and transformed its recruitment policy. With the aim of recruiting players at low prices to enhance their value in the long term, the recruitment unit placed 7.5 million euros on the table of Viktoria Plzen to secure the services of Pavel Sulc.

And several months later, People can easily say that it was a successful operation. Don’t talk to him about adaptation, the Czech striker has a total of 13 goals and 7 assists in 31 appearances for Lyon. A feat which exploded his market value, to the point of today being the most highly valued player in the Lyon squad.

OL are Rubbing Their Hands for Pavel Sulc

In its latest weekly letter, the CIES Football Observatory presented the 100 teams in the world with the highest value squad. A ranking in which we find OL and which presents, at the same time, the player with the highest market value in the squad. Pavel Sulc is therefore in the spotlight, he who saw his rating explode and rise to 34.1 million euros. A sporting success which allows Les Gones to rub their hands in preparation for the next market summer.

If the latter no longer have their hands tied as much with the DNCG, knowing that a player has almost quintupled his value in a few months is logically a reason for satisfaction for the Lyon management. Obviously, Pavel Sulc is a winning bet for OL who are already seeing their new recruitment policy bear fruit in just a few months.
