Sanctioned by the DNCG, Olympique Lyonnais will have to sell this winter. The Rhone club can expect to see its coveted players on the transfer market. In Ligue 1, Bruno Genesio's LOSC would take advantage of the situation to recruit central defender Moussa Niakhaté.
John Textor was eagerly awaited for his press conference this Saturday. The day after the verdict pronounced by the DNCG, which notably sanctioned Olympique Lyonnais with a demotion to Ligue 2 as a precautionary measure, the boss of Les Gones defended himself with his usual serenity. The American took the opportunity to issue a warning to clubs interested in his players.
Textor notifies interested clubs
Certainly, Pierre Sage’s workforce has “ six players too many » and departures will be essential this winter to meet the requirements of the financial policeman. But there is no question for John Textor of selling at a discount. “ Yes, people will try to exploit this newsguessed the businessman. If clubs don't want to buy our players at the right price, we simply won't sell to them. Some conversations around players have started at lower numbers, but we will sell the players at the right price. » The clarification applies in particular to LOSC.
According to journalist Ekrem Konur, Lille is interested in central defender Moussa Niakhaté. But it's a safe bet that the northern club will not match the price spent by Lyon this summer. Remember that the transfer of the former Valenciennes player surprisingly cost 31.9 million euros. Given the financial situation on the Rhone side, the LOSC of ex-Lyonnais Bruno Genesio will not rush. It will also be necessary to follow the announced interest of Crystal Palace. The English team of the Eagle Football galaxy also appreciates the Senegalese international. And can allow John Textor to make a good deal.
