Milan to Loan Swiss Midfielder to Lyon

Italian giants AC Milan are set to loan Zachary Atekaame to Lyon, according to RMC Sport. The agreement does not include an option for a permanent transfer.

Earlier reports in Italian media suggested that Atekaame was among the players Milan would not be relying on under new head coach Ruben Amorim. The Ligue 1 side will cover the 21-year-old's full salary during his loan spell, after which he is expected to return to San Siro in the summer of 2027.

The Swiss youth international was acquired from Young Boys just a year ago for 10 million euros but failed to make a significant impact with the Rossoneri. He featured in 29 matches, scoring 2 goals and providing 2 assists.
