7 million euros, OL’s last chance

OL are preparing for a complicated January transfer window, but the Rhone club still has a few tricks up its sleeve.

Banned from recruiting and forced to sell, Olympique Lyonnais will have to be smart to avoid weakening too much this winter. John Textor knows how to do it, just remember the episode of Ernest Nuamah, recruited by his club on a disguised loan when it was forbidden to sign new players. This will again be the case this winter because Thiago Almada will join despite this ban. And in terms of departures, it remains to be seen whether decisive and starting players like Rayan Cherki or Malick Fofana will have to go elsewhere. Under these conditions, there is a file that arrives on the table, it is that of Nicolas Tagliafico.

Tagliafico ignores Argentina

The left side is rather constant but he arrives especially in the last year of his contract. The indisputable information is that he does not want to extend to Lyon. He never managed to play in the Champions League as he hoped, and the recent burglary of his home caused his wife to leave, returning to the Netherlands where she feels safer. The world champion is closely followed by Boca Juniors, says the Argentinian media Tyc Sports, but despite the efforts of the leaders of the Buenos Aires club, the left back considers himself still too young (32 years old) to return to the country .

As a result, he wishes to continue his adventure in Europe, he who is followed in particular in Spain. His wish is obviously to leave OL free to better negotiate his future contract, but John Textor knows that this month of January will be the last chance for him to sell it. The idea is to recover a sum of between 5 and 7 million euros, even if OL cannot be too greedy for a player who will no longer be worth a single one in six months.
