OL are certainly looking forward to the month of January being over. It must be said that Les Gones must sell, which will have a strong impact on Pierre Sage’s squad.
Pierre Sage has turned OL around since his arrival and intends to qualify the Rhone club for the Champions League at the end of the season. The task will not be easy given the competition. Especially since its squad will change again this winter. OL must sell urgently after the DNCG sanctions. The Rhone management is at work to close lucrative deals. Anthony Lopes, Jeffinho and Gift Orban have already left the ship. Maxence Caqueret will do the same in the coming hours, just like Adryelson. Enough to relieve Lyon’s finances but also Pierre Sage, who wants to count on a quality but limited group. Good news for the Gones coach, the fact that Thiago Almada will soon complete his group.
Pierre Sage couldn’t have hoped for better?
The Argentinian international arrived in Lyon in recent hours to undergo his medical examination. OL then want to be able to register him as a free loan from Botafogo, a club also owned by John Textor. If this were the case, then the Lyon squad would be reinforced in quality. Enough to make Pierre Sage happy according to information from The Team. The media specifies that the current downsizing of the OL group pleases the young coach, who could have the size of the group that he has wanted for a long time as of Monday morning. Note that Pierre Sage could still count on the reinforcement of a player, in the person of Luiz Henrique. But the Brazilian is being courted and has a good market value. The suspense remains in this matter, while Luiz Henrique could arrive at OL like Almada, that is to say on a free loan.
