Zapping Our Mondial EXCLUSIVE: Randal Kolo Muani’s “Little Brother” interview!
John Textor has no time to waste! For several weeks, the Olympique Lyonnais transfer window seems to have come to a standstill. The reason ? Les Gones, who made numerous loans with an option to purchase last winter, had to go before the National Directorate of Management Control (DNCG), the financial policeman of French football in order to see the budget be validated and thus begin the transfers. And while the DNCG gave a positive verdict this afternoon, the first recruit is already on the verge of signing in the Rhône.
Niakhate is coming!
As announced by Foot Market et The Teamit is Moussa Niakhaté who arrives from Nottingham Forest and the sum is likely to make people talk: 31 million euros. It is quite simply the most expensive transfer in the history of the team. At 28 years old, the Senegalese international is coming off an average season with 24 appearances in all competitions. He will arrive in Lyon tonight to sign his contract. In the meantime, Pierre Sage wanted a solid left-footed defender for next season, and he was heard by his president who did not hesitate to put his hand in his pocket.
To sum up
Barely released by the DNCG, Olympique Lyonnais is preparing to make the biggest transfer in its history. Indeed, the Gones will sign Moussa Niakhaté from Nottingham Forest for 31 million euros.
