The Olympique Lyonnais transfer window has not started, except with the departure of the players at the end of the contract. The revolution decreed by John Textor impacted the organization of OL, to the point of disturbing the agents.
Who, to date, is responsible for managing transfers to Olympique Lyonnais? Not easy to answer this question, since after having fired Jean-Michel Aulas, the owner of OL has not yet appointed the head of the recruitment unit. And this knowing that Bruno Cheyrou has been placed in an enigmatic place within the Eagle Football group. For the players’ agents, nothing is therefore simple and one person has observed this in a rather surprising way. Hugo Guillemet, the journalist for L’Equipe, claims to have received many phone calls to his office to find out how to enter into negotiations with Olympique Lyonnais during this transfer window. He said more about it in L’Equipe du Soir.

The OL specialist in the editorial staff of the sports daily told this story which visibly flabbergasted him. ” At one point, I had a lot of calls from people asking me who to contact to extend or get a player out on loan. Bruno Cheyrou and Vincent Ponsot no longer have the controls and the signature. There was a real moment of hesitation. Today, it went to Crystal Palace and its sporting director, Dougie Freedman, but also Textor and his minions. But it’s not very clear. The appointment of Matthieu Louis-Jean will make it possible to move forward “Said Hugo Guillemet in front of his colleagues who were slightly mocking and surprised by this incredible situation at OL. Not enough to reassure Lyon supporters, who are finally waiting for a nice real transfer window.
