The Mercato of Olympique Lyonnais continues to surprise. As for arrivals, the Gones have yet completed the signature of the winger Afonso Moreira and defender Ruben Kluivert and lately, we learned that the third Lyonnaise recruit would ultimately be Nicolas Tagliafico, who agreed to sign a new two -year contract. The Argentinian had left OL at the expiration of his lease last June. And in terms of departures, there are still several contenders.
After Rayan Cherki, Alexandre Lacazette, Thiago Almada and lately Lucas Perri in Leeds United, Olympique Lyonnais is attacked for Malick Fofana and the chances of seeing him remain lean. Before the end of the summer, the Gones will therefore have to find a new goalkeeper, complete the arrival of a midfielder while the discussions continue with Pierre Lees-Melou (Brest) and enroll a new winger. A big work for the technical director Matthieu Louis-Jean and his teams, while Lyon continues to be attacked on the market.
The Premier League wants it
And a new name has just emerged on the side of the Premier League. According to information from Sky SportsEverton would be interested in Ainsley Maitland-Niles. The profile of the versatile side is highly appreciated by David Moyes, the manager of the Toffees, who thinks that his experience in the Premier League could be crucial for Everton, who seeks to rebuild himself this summer. The former Arsenal played 43 games last season, for eight goals scored, and still remains under contract for two seasons with OL.
The English media specifies that the 27 -year -old versatile player would be open to a return to the Premier League, although other European clubs are interested. Last February, we had already revealed that an offer from Galatasaray had been refused by the Gones. It remains to be seen what the Lyon position will be for this summer, while Maitland-Niles is currently participating in the OL pre-season internship on the side of Austria. OL will have to make choices.
