Olympique Lyonnais is in offensive mode during this transfer window, since John Textor’s club has already signed Alvero on Thursday and could continue with Mata and Tapia. OL are also working on the attacker’s file.
If some clubs take their time in this transfer market, this is not the case with Lyon. Laurent Blanc wants to start the season with his full workforce or almost, and John Textor has understood. Even if the new owner of the seven-time champions of France had not expected that the DNCG was going to meddle in his business, this does not prevent Mathieu Louis-Jean from rapidly advancing his pawns in a blitzkrieg version of the transfer window. Thursday, OL formalized the signing of Skelly Alvero, the sentry of Sochaux, and in the coming hours, two other reinforcements should be committed: Clinton Mata (Bruges) and Renato Tapia (Celta Vigo). Next target of Lyon, an attacker. This time, it is in Brazil that OL could strike.
A Brazilian at OL often works
Le Progrès confirms that the track leading Olympique Lyonnais to Victor Hugo, the Brazilian Flamengo player, is real. However, the regional daily specifies it, it could be that the file is made complex by the fact that John Textor is also owner of Botafogo, competitor club, and it is an understatement, of Flamengo. To see the young 20-year-old player leave for Lyon, which has become a club by force of circumstance. rival could singularly irritate the home supporters. ” Again, you have to be persuasive. Afterwards, OL have already played the role of bridge for great hopes », rightly reminds Christian Lanier. The Bruno Guimaraes case has shown that Lyon knows how to highlight Brazilian players, to know if Victor Hugo will be next. At OL the latter could find another attacking compatriot, Jeffinho, enough to consider the best.
