"Olympique Lyonnais is delighted to announce the two-year contract extension of Clinton Mata, which will keep him at the club until June 30, 2028. Having arrived at OL in the summer of 2023 from Club Bruges, the Angolan international (12 caps) quickly became a key figure in the dressing room. Thanks to his experience, reliability, and remarkable versatility, Clinton Mata has been one of the squad’s pivotal players over the past two seasons, making 73 appearances in all competitions (scoring 2 goals). Solid on the pitch, invaluable off it, he’s also emerged as a role model for the younger players, embodying the discipline and high standards expected at this level. This extension rewards his central role in the team’s collective dynamic and is fully in line with Olympique Lyonnais’ ambition to build a strong squad that combines experience with developmental potential.", reads OL’s official statement.
