OL hope to complete a good sale this winter with Nicolas Tagliafico, courted by several European clubs and who could bring some money to the Rhone club six months before the end of his contract.
At 32 years old and while his contract with Olympique Lyonnais expires next June, Nicolas Tagliafico is drowning in desire. Juventus Turin and Boca Juniors have already expressed their interest in the Argentine world champion. In both cases, the clubs are ready to pay a transfer to OL to recruit Nicolas Tagliafico in January. A godsend for John Textor, who perhaps did not expect to recover money thanks to the former Ajax defender, whose free departure next June was almost without doubt. But all is not yet won because new interested clubs could undermine Lyon's plans.
Galatasaray wants Tagliafico… for zero euros
This is for example the case of Galatasaray, the latest club to be interested in Nicolas Tagliafico according to information from Fans. The Turkish media claims that the “Gala” is very keen on the idea of bringing in Nicolas Tagliafico in order to strengthen its defense, but not under any conditions. For the Turkish club, it is not possible to pay transfer compensation to OL this winter when the player will soon be free. Galatasaray is positioning itself on the player with a view to next season with the objective of signing him for free.
Bad news for OL as until now, interested clubs were inclined to pay for a transfer in the winter transfer window. For the Lyon leaders, it will therefore be necessary to prioritize negotiations with Juve or Boca Juniors, but it is the player who will have the last word. And if Nicolas Tagliafico prefers to sign free at a club such as Galatasaray to receive a bigger signing bonus, John Textor will not be able to do anything about it. This increasingly agitated issue will in any case be carefully monitored in the coming weeks, and a departure of the Argentinian in return for a transfer fee in January is more than ever hoped for to give a little breathing room to the situation. 'OL on a financial level.
