Olympique Lyonnais and John Textor know this, the DNCG is monitoring the situation very closely and relegation at the end of the season cannot be ruled out. The accounts must be straightened out if the club does not want to leave the elite of French football like the Girondins de Bordeaux. The best time to recover money is to downsize your squad, made up of 28 players. After the almost inevitable departures in the winter transfer window of Mahamadou Diawara and Gift Orban who are little used by Pierre Sage, a locker room executive could pack his bags. Trained at OL and a true technical leader over the last three years, Maxence Caqueret is having a difficult season and is on his way out according to Foot Mercato.
A check for 20 million
L'Equipe reveals that the player believes his time has come. The native of Vénissieux no longer fits into Pierre Sage's plans because Tolisso returns in great shape, Matic brings his experience, Veretout is on a good dynamic and Tessmann makes convincing appearances off the bench. In addition, his big salary (3.38 million per year) encourages management a little more to part ways with him and hopes to receive offers around 20 million euros because he remains under contract until 2027. Clubs English could knock on the door but also Bayer Leverkusen where he almost signed this summer.
