Olympique Lyonnais’ shares rose on Thursday after the French soccer club sold left-back Ferland Mendy to Real Madrid for some 48 million euros (£42.7 million).
The shares jumped by around 1% in early session trading.
Real Madrid will pay an initial 48 million euros for Mendy with a possible further 5 million euros in incentive payments.
