Everything went very quickly in the Skelly Alvero file since an agreement was reached for the transfer of the midfielder from FC Sochaux to OL.
Monday afternoon, Foot Mercato revealed the interest of Olympique Lyonnais for Skelly Alvero, 21-year-old midfielder playing at FC Sochaux. The specialized media indicated that Lorient was also very keen to welcome the “nugget of the month of March” in Ligue 2 and that the transfer of the player could be concluded around 4 million euros. Under contract with the Doubiste club until June 2025, Skelly Alvero will continue his career at Olympique Lyonnais. And for good reason, everything went very quickly in this case since L’Equipe announced on Tuesday that a total agreement had been reached between FC Sochaux and Les Gones for the transfer of the French midfielder.

Judged as a very promising player, the one who benefits from a large size (2m02) will have his medical examination in Lyon this Tuesday morning. The transfer price will be slightly higher than what was announced on Monday because OL have bid up to 6 million euros to grill competition from FC Lorient and secure the signing of this promising player. Downgraded by the DNCG to National 1 for financial reasons, Sochaux was not in a strong position to prolong the case and quickly reached an agreement with Les Gones. Laurent Blanc, who demanded a physical defensive midfielder to beef up his midfield, will be delighted to welcome Skelly Alvero (93kg) into his squad.
