The young OL midfielder, Mahamadou Diawara, should be one of the sensations of the next winter transfer window. Many European clubs, including FC Nantes, are positioning themselves to secure his services.
Mercato FC Nantes: Mahamadou Diawara in the sights of the FCN this winter
The delicate financial situation of Olympique Lyonnais, temporarily demoted to Ligue 2, is forcing the club to sell players this winter. Among the players likely to leave the Rhône, Mahamadou Diawara attracts envy. Aged 19, Mahamadou Diawara is considered one of the great hopes of the Lyon training center. His profile appeals to many European clubs.
According to information from Turkish journalist Ekrem Konur, Celtic, FC Nantes, RC Lens, Valencia and Villarreal are ready to make an offer to secure the services of the young midfielder. Olympique Lyonnais could let their nugget go if a suitor pays an amount greater than 5 million euros.
If several clubs are interested, it is Villarreal which would be in pole position on this file. The Yellow Submarine would have made Mahamadou Diawara one of its priorities for the next transfer window and would be willing to put between 10 and 15 million euros on the table of Lyon leaders.
FC Nantes and RC Lens at it again
The two French clubs, FC Nantes and RC Lens, had already expressed their interest in Mahamadou Diawara during the last summer transfer window. The Canaries had offered a loan with an option to buy, while the Sang et Or had simply tested the ground. Given Lyon's financial situation and Diawara's limited playing time, a departure seems inevitable.
FC Nantes discreetly moves the lines to hit this nice shot and strengthen its midfield. FC Nantes and Lyon had already completed the transfer of midfielder Johann Lepenant during the summer transfer window. The two teams could seal a new deal this winter.
