OL are targeting Thiago Almada and Luiz Henrique to strengthen their squad despite the constraints imposed by the DNCG.
L’Olympique Lyonnais is looking for reinforcements to turn things around in this second part of the season. The name of Thiago AlmadaArgentinian attacking midfielder playing at Botafogo, returns with insistence behind the scenes of the club. Despite the recruitment ban pronounced by the DNCG last November, Lyon's leaders are exploring solutions to make this arrival a reality.

Aged 23, Thiago Almada perfectly embodies the profile sought by OL. With excellent game vision and an ability to unblock complex situations, he could provide crucial creativity.
Luiz Henrique: A more complex file
At the same time, OL is also closely following Luiz Henrique24-year-old Brazilian winger. However, this track turns out to be more delicate. In question : the limitations concerning extra-community places, which complicate a possible arrival.
For this transfer to succeed, the club will not only have to convince the DNCG, but also find administrative solutions. OL could be forced to free up a place in their squad or opt for another strategy.

The DNCG, known for its intransigence, will be at the heart of these negotiations. The recruitment ban imposed on OL stems from the club's current financial constraints. However, a free loan, as envisaged for Thiago Almada, could circumvent this obstacle.
