OL is spending like crazy this summer. By announcing the arrival of Georges Mikautadze, who let AS Monaco down at the last minute, the Rhone club made its third summer recruit official. A few days later, the team chaired by John Textor also made the transfer of young Alejandro Gomes Rodriguez official. A new reinforcement after the 31.9 million spent on Moussa Niakhaté and the 8 million paid to enlist Abner Vinicius. But that’s not all.
This summer, the Gones also decided to exercise the purchase option of Orel Mangala (23.4 million), Ernest Nuamah (28.5 million), Mama Baldé (6 million) and Duje Caleta-Car (3.59 million). In total, Lyon spent more than 125 million euros… Enough to calm the Rhône’s enthusiasm and speed up the departures? Nothing is less certain. If the Lyonnais have almost confirmed the departure of Jake O’Brien, a new arrival is hoped for…
Discussions in progress…
According to our latest information, OL has, in fact, started discussions with AC Milan for a certain Yunus Musah. Under contract until June 2028 with the Rossoneri, the 21-year-old midfielder pleases the Rhone recruitment unit. Having played for Arsenal and Valencia, the American international (39 caps) is coming off a full season with the San Siro residents (2 assists, 35 matches in all competitions).
Renowned for his technical quality, his volume of play and his ability to pierce the opposing lines, the New York City native would then bring a real plus to the Lyon midfield. Now all that remains is to find common ground with the Milanese for a player currently estimated at 22 million euros. At the same time, OL will also have to convince the current number 80 of AC Milan to join Ligue 1. To be continued…
