OL Mercato: Lyon has found a solution for Thiago Almada

To allow the arrival of Thiago Almada this winter, OL would like to enlist him in the form of a free loan.

Nobody knows at the moment if Thiago Almada will end up coming to Olympique Lyonnais this winter. Recruited last summer for 20 million euros by the Eagle group from Atlanta United, the Argentine attacking midfielder signed up for Botafogo with the promise of joining Lyon in January. Except that since then, the Rhone club has been banned from recruiting by the DNCG, therefore compromising the arrival of the 2022 world champion in the Rhône.

A free loan for Thiago Almada?

But while Thiago Almada is convinced that he will join OL in the coming weeks, the Lyon leaders have found a solution to allow his arrival and not upset the DNCG. Indeed, according to information from L'Équipe, the current fifth in Ligue 1 could bring in Thiago Almada on a free six-month loan. It remains to be seen whether or not the financial policeman of French Football will authorize this, but on paper, it seems possible.
