Barely arrived, already gone. Recruited during the last winter transfer window to help OL ensure its survival, Orel Mangala had seen his purchase option exercised by the Lyon management at the beginning of July (for €23.5 million). But the Belgian international clearly did not fit into Pierre Sage’s plans.
No problem, since John Textor found a solution by sending him on loan to Everton, a club he is trying to buy with Eagle Football. As reported by Skysports, the 26-year-old Belgian midfielder is expected this evening to undergo his medical and sign for a season.
