Benrahma, it's official

After an incredible end to the transfer window, Olympique Lyonnais finally secured the arrival of Saïd Benrahma, OL’s seventh winter recruit.

Olympique Lyonnais won their case. While the transfer of Saïd Benrahma fell through on Thursday evening, because West Ham had not sent the documents on time, everything was sorted this Friday. Fifa gave its agreement, then the French and English federations also validated the operation. And the Algerian international got on well with OL.

“This paying loan in the amount of £5.1 million (approximately €6 million) is accompanied by a purchase option of £12.3 million (approximately €14.4 million) and a 10% interest on the added value in the case of a possible future transfer »indicates the Rhone club.

Benrahma is the seventh and recruit of OL’s XXL transfer window, which also welcomed Lucas Perri, Adryelson, Malick Fofana, Gift Orban, Nemanja Matic and Orel Mangala.
