Banned from recruiting for this winter transfer window and now under the leadership of the DNCG, Olympique Lyonnaises cannot recruit. Despite this ban, a player could still arrive at the club this winter.
This Friday evening, the DNCG hit very hard. With a debt of more than 505 million euros, OL are now experiencing a turning point in their season and even for their future. The club, which could well be relegated to Ligue 2 at the end of the season as a precautionary measure, is also prohibited from recruiting this winter and sees the DNCG regulate its far too high payroll. However, the DNCG does not seem to question the probable arrival of Thiago Almada from Botafogo.
Among the potential consequences of these measures, many are wondering about the future of the young Argentinian whose arrival in January at OL had been recorded. According to 'The Team', this transfer would not be compromised despite the ban on recruiting for a fee, which constitutes rare good news for the club. Almada could bring welcome reinforcement to the squad, in a context where sporting competitiveness risks being put to the test. It now remains to be seen whether John Textor will be able to respect his commitment and allow the 2022 world champion to discover Ligue 1 this winter…
