Wednesday afternoon, Olympique Lyonnais formalized the arrival of Thiago Almada from Botafogo as part of a six-month dry loan. One thing is certain, the arrival of the Argentinian brings a lot of hope to the Rhône, starting with Pierre Sage: “We still have to check whether, from an administrative point of view, he will be able to play. If he is fielded, he will not be able to play for long, but he could come on during the match. Thiago Almada has an exceptional ability to retain the ball and adapt to the demands of the game. He will bring fluidity to an area where we need it” he said at a press conference.
Sage can't wait to see Almada in action!
For his part, Moussa Niakhaté, even if he only completed one session with his new teammate, has already made a point of highlighting his ambition: “We've only done one session together, so I can't say much at the moment. He seems to be a very kind, positive, determined, and ambitious person. This is what we need: ambitious players, who want to bring positivity“. As a reminder, OL will host Toulouse on Saturday evening (9 p.m.) with one goal: to bounce back.
