Olympique Lyonnais is likely to be a major player in this winter transfer window. While Luiz Henrique and Thiago Almada are soon expected in the Rhône, it is then in the direction of departures that the Rhone club risks being noticed. First of all, and even if Pierre Sage said he wanted to keep him yesterday at a press conference, Nemanja Matic remains a highly coveted man. After Como, Naples and Fiorentina, Florian Plettenberg announces that it is now Ipswich Town which would have entered the running in this file. As a reminder, the 36-year-old midfielder is under contract until 2026 with OL.
OL on all fronts!
But another player could well be packing his bags for England by the end of the month. Indeed, Fabrice Hawkins reveals that Ernest Nuamah would be an Everton target for this winter. An offer could soon arrive on the desk of Lyon leaders. The Ghanaian could have already joined the Premier League this summer but he refused the advances of Fulham. It now remains to find an agreement between the two clubs for the 21-year-old winger, who would therefore have a good chance of leaving.
Finally, concerning Mahamadou Diawara, followed by Reims, the relationship between Jean-Pierre Caillot and John Textor should not make things easier. While a first loan offer with a purchase option of 3.5 million euros was refused, Loïc Tanzi explains that OL would like this to be for an amount of five. A deal that doesn’t look easy…Business to follow.
