The departure of Ernest Nuamah to Everton seemed set but OL could ultimately change their mind about the Ghanaian international. Pierre Sage is rather favorable to the idea of keeping him in the squad until the end of the season.
Very active during this winter transfer window, Olympique Lyonnais is working to sell several players and thus meet the expectations of the DNCG. Jeffinho, Anthony Lopes, Gift Orban and even Maxence Caqueret packed their bags and it seemed written that Ernest Nuamah was going to imitate them. The Ghanaian striker is not an indisputable starter in the eyes of Pierre Sage and his profile is very popular in England, where Everton was particularly interested in recruiting him. This issue could nevertheless experience a big turnaround in the days to come.
And for good reason, the site Ghana Web writes that Olympique Lyonnais is no longer so certain of wanting to part ways with Ernest Nuamah, particularly after the transfer of Luiz Henrique to Zénith Saint-Petersburg. For the specialized media, a departure from Nuamah was especially desired by OL in the event that the Brazilian nugget of Botafogo had set down his bags in the capital of Gaul, which will not be the case since he flew away in direction to Russia for 33 million euros, a sum which will also go to… Olympique Lyonnais.
-OL ultimately want to keep Nuamah
Luiz Henrique will therefore not join the Rhone club, which could push Pierre Sage to keep his player in order to keep several offensive options. In addition, we can legitimately imagine that OL wish to keep Ernest Nuamah in order to compensate for a potential departure of Rayan Cherki, since it has been confirmed by the most reliable transfer window specialists that the French international hopeful has an agreement in principle with the Rhone club to leave Lyon in the event of an offer reaching 22 million euros. Everton, who failed to complete the file when everything was still playable, can therefore be angry. Even if everything is still possible, it is no longer really possible for Olympique Lyonnais to part ways with Ernest Nuamah this winter.
