OL could receive an offer during the winter transfer window for Nicolas Tagliafico as the Argentine defender's contract expires next June. Juventus Turin is very interested in the 2022 world champion.
In competition with Abner for the left-back position since the start of the season, Nicolas Tagliafico remains a sure value within the Olympique Lyonnais squad for his coach Pierre Sage. Leader on the pitch and in the locker room, the Argentinian world champion is an experienced player like Lacazette, Matic or Tolisso, on whom the Lyon coach relies. But six months before the end of Nicolas Tagliafico's contract, the Rhone club will not retain him in the event of a good offer during the winter transfer window.
This long-awaited proposal could precisely come from Italy since according to information from Corriere dello SportJuventus Turin is very interested in the idea of recovering the native of Rafael Calzada from the month of January. It must be said that the Old Lady is decimated in defense after the injuries to central defender Bremer and left back Juan Cabal. Faced with an urgent need for reinforcement in this sector of the game, the Old Lady could agree to pay a transfer fee, even for a free player in six months, in order to recover him from the month of January.
Juve hesitates between Chilwell and Tagliafico
A prospect which should not displease OL, in a complicated financial situation and which did not expect to be called upon this winter for Tagliafico, but which could offload a large salary while recovering a transfer fee. Even if Tagliafico's professionalism would be a real loss for Lyon, this departure is bearable for Les Gones in a position where Brazilian international Abner clearly represents the future. John Textor therefore sees this potential transfer with an excellent eye but nothing has been done yet. Because if Juve is indeed interested in Tagliafico, it is also following the situation of Ben Chilwell, the English international from Chelsea, who does not fit into Enzo Maresca's plans at all with the Blues. An attractive track but more expensive than the one leading to Tagliafico.
