OL, an astonishing transfer about to be completed

Olympique Lyonnais are reportedly on the verge of finalizing the arrival of a first winter recruit.

Freed from part of the DNCG sanctions, Olympique Lyonnais, last in Ligue 1, intends to strengthen this winter. To do this, Rhone decision-makers would have a budget of around fifty million euros.

A first recruit is already on the way. According to information from Globo, Les Gones would be very close to completing the transfer of Lucas Perri. This 26-year-old Brazilian goalkeeper is joining Botafogo, a club owned by John Textor… An official announcement has even been announced for the weekend.

A surprising choice. Indeed, the arrival of a goalkeeper does not seem essential while other sectors of the game deserve to be strengthened. Bad news also for Anthony Lopes, who could see a real competitor arrive for the second part of the season.
