Comorian Winger Rafiki Saïd: The Breakout Star of 2025 on Lyon’s Radar

Rafiki Saïd, who is only 25 years old, is quickly becoming one of France's most talented artists. Olympique Lyonnais has taken notice of the Comorian winger, who is currently playing well at Troyes in Ligue 2, and is apparently thinking about making a bid for him.

Lyon’s Interest in Rafiki Saïd

Under John Textor’s leadership, Lyon has been aggressively scouting young talents, and Saïd has become a key target. French journalist Alex Corboz has revealed that Lyon is also monitoring Alan Minda, another rising star, as part of their long-term squad reinforcement strategy.

A Standout Season

This season, Saïd has been in outstanding form, scoring nine goals and dishing out five assists in thirty games across all competitions. Since his market value has increased to €2 million, Lyon can now pursue him after he previously played for Nîmes and Stade Brestois.

Shining for Comoros

Saïd is causing a stir abroad in addition to club football. In the fifth round of the 2026 World Cup qualifications, he recently played 80 minutes against Mali, demonstrating his increasing significance for the Comoros national team.
