The coach of Olympique Lyonnais did not hide the bottom of his thoughts by evoking the end of this summer transfer window.
If he spent a great chapter of his coaching career at Paris Saint-Germain, Laurent Blanc has turned the page. Today on the bench of Olympique Lyonnais, the French technician fully defends the rights of his club, and does not hesitate to castigate the team of the capital.
As the transfer market closes in two weeks, several Olympique Lyonnais players are the subject of departure rumours, starting with young Bradley Barcola. The French international Espoir would be in the sights of PSG, which went on the offensive to try to secure its services after a very promising half-season. Paris would also keep an eye on the situation of Rayan Cherki, close to Kylian Mbappé.
Laurent Blanc’s rant
For Laurent Blanc, these departures are unimaginable. The OL coach didn’t hesitate to rant at a press conference on Thursday. Blanc castigates especially the timing of the transfer window. ” The transfer window? I think it should stop on the first day of the Championship. We favor that for the most powerful: on August 30 they arrive with an offer, boom you sell and behind you can’t do anything, and the sportsman is disturbed“, thundered Laurent Blanc. The message got through.
