OL do not plan to be idle this summer on the transfer market. Despite some financial concerns to resolve, Les Gones do not want to miss out on the possibility of closing attractive deals.
Pierre Sage renewed, John Textor present, Europa League assured, everything is going well at OL. The trend will have to be confirmed this Thursday before the DNCG before being able to have a free hand during the transfer market. Les Gones do not lack ambitions. In particular, they want to strengthen their offensive sector in order to be able to manage all competitions next season. OL want players who are reliable at the highest level and still have a bright future. This is good, the people of Rhône have clearly fallen for the profile of a Newcastle star: Yankuba Minteh. Moreover, the way would have opened for the training of Pierre Sage.
Minteh at OL, it’s starting to smell good
According to information from Ignazio Genuardi, Olympique Lyonnais is leading the race in the case of the 19-year-old Gambian. Indeed, Everton will recruit Illiman Ndiaye in the coming hours and no longer makes Minteh a priority this summer. OM and Brighton are still in the game but are behind in this matter by more than 20 million euros all the same. It must be said that the right winger is coming off a more than interesting season at Feyenoord, with 11 goals in 37 matches played in all competitions. He was one of the great architects of the Rotterdam club’s second place in the Eredivisie and took part in Champions League matches. The arrival of the young Gambian at OL would be a big move on the transfer market by John Textor but would certainly mean the transfers of other offensive players to enable the operation. Rayan Cherki and Ernest Nuamah are expected to leave.
