Paulo Fonseca’s Olympique Lyon bounced back from their defeat in the Czech Republic to beat Sparta Prague at the Groupama Arena, securing their spot in the Champions League qualifying play-offs. It is a feat worthy of headline status in this Wednesday’s edition of the French newspaper *L’Équipe*.
In Italy, another Portuguese figure is making waves: Rodrigo Mora. He is on the verge of leaving FC Porto to join AS Roma, with only the final details of the deal left to iron out—a move that could bring in a total financial return of around 50 million euros.
The summer transfer market is also a major talking point in the Spanish sports press, specifically regarding Barcelona. The club is simultaneously negotiating the signing of Julián Álvarez from Atlético Madrid and the departure of Ferrán Torres to Paris Saint-Germain.
Finally, in England, the man of the moment is Myles Lewis-Skelly. The 19-year-old turned down a move to Chelsea, believing he has the quality to convince Mikel Arteta to give him a prominent role at Arsenal.
