With Alexandre Lacazette and Georges Mikautadze in his ranks, theOlympique Lyonnais Has two hundred-out-in-laws at the very high level. But you have to believe that the Rhone club would like to have reinforcement in this position, if it does not prepare after the lacazette.
According to information from the Sun, OL has checked the name of Jean-Philippe Mateta. Briefly passed through the club between 2016 and 2018 after his training in Châteauroux, the French striker of Crystal Palace made his hole in the Premier League, where emerges as a safe bet in his post.
A difficult operation to complete for OL
If this file tends to confirm the XXL ambitions of John Textor and the new coach Paulo Fonseca, this deal will be very difficult to finalize for Olympique Lyonnais. After supervising the payroll by the DNCG, the margin of Maneouvre remains very close for Textor, who still has to account for the financial gendarme of French football.
However, Mateta's estimated value would be 60 million euros. An indemnity that is similar to an impossible amount for OL in the current context. If he is not yet international A, Jean-Philippe Mateta had distinguished himself with the French Olympic team of Thierry Henry. The French center-center had been one of the great craftsmen of the silver medal won by the Blues last summer.
