OL need to sell and the ideal would of course be to replenish the club's coffers by parting ways with players who do not fit into Pierre Sage's plans. In this sense, a potential departure of Ernest Nuamah is viewed favorably.
The winter transfer window is approaching and logically, Pierre Sage is crossing his fingers that Malick Fofana or even Rayan Cherki are not sacrificed. Olympique Lyonnais is obliged to sell to comply with the constraints of the DNCG and for John Textor, it will not be easy to find a balance between the athlete and the financier. The ideal would certainly be to part with players who are not playing, even if they are not necessarily the best valued on the transfer market. According to the information from Foot Marketa man ticks all the boxes to leave OL in the January transfer window, it is Ernest Nuamah.
The Ghanaian international is not a starter in Pierre Sage's mind, but he still has good market value in Europe. The proof is that three Premier League clubs are still very interested in his profile. The specialized media affirms that Olympique Lyonnais is open to a departure of its player this winter and has set its price at 25 million euros. A price “hoped” by the Rhone club, which however knows that it will not be in a strong position in the negotiations given its financial situation and which could let its player leave for a little less. Fulham and Everton are on the lookout, ready to draw up a concrete offer to OL, just like Crystal Palace.
Three English clubs are hot on Nuamah
According to English sources, the Eagles have joined the battle to try to acquire Ernest Nuamah in the transfer window. The question now is whether the player, who had a very bad experience with his aborted departure last summer, will this time open the door to a transfer when he seems to be in an impasse at Lyon, where Rayan Cherki and Malick Fofana are clearly ahead of him in the hierarchy of wingers. In any case, OL should not lack requests for Ernest Nuamah in January; it is now a question of whether interested clubs will be ready to meet John Textor's demands in this matter.
