Official | Rennes’ Warmed Omari loaned out to Lyon

Rennes centre-back Warmed Omari (24) has been loaned out to Ligue 1 rivals Lyon, both clubs have announced. According to Olympique Lyonnais, Les Gones have paid €500k to secure Omari’s loan with the deal including a €10m to make his move permanent. The Rennes academy graduate underwent a medical today. He will wear the #27 jersey with Pierre Sage’s Les Gones.

Omari featured 94 times for formative club Stade Rennais, logging two goals and one assist. The 24-year-old Comoros international remains tied with Les Rouge et Noir over a long-term contract set to expire in 2027. Omari was an unused substitute for Rennes’ first two Ligue 1 games of the season with head coach Julien Stéphan relying so far on Christopher Wooh and Leo Ostigard. The signing of Barcelona centre-back Mikayil Faye only made Omari the fourth-choice centre-back for the Bretons.
