Lyon and Marseille chase Mechelen winger Van Brederode, €10 m tag

Olympique Marseille and Olympique Lyon have each sent inquiries about 23‑year‑old Myron van Brederode, the former AZ striker who netted two goals in KV Mechelen’s 3‑3 draw with Standard Liège last weekend, on Thursday afternoon.

reported Thursday afternoon that both French clubs have formally approached Mechelen in Belgium regarding the winger’s services.

Mechelen’s valuation and contract

Mechelen, positioned high in the Belgian league, is demanding a reported fee of ten million euros, a price that currently acts as a deterrent, while the 23‑year‑old remains under contract until mid‑2029.

Betting markets hide the exact price for the potential transfer.

Van Brederode proved decisive last weekend, scoring both goals for Mechelen in the 3‑3 stalemate against Standard Liège.

Across the season he recorded nine goals and six assists in the Belgian Pro League, ranking among Mechelen’s top performers.

Lyon and Marseille view the former AZ player as a valuable addition to their attacks, believing his pace and finishing could strengthen their squads.

According to VI, additional clubs have also expressed interest, though no names have been disclosed.

Despite the attention, KV Mechelen is not prepared to release the winger without meeting its valuation.
