After chaining sales, the Rhone club focuses more on its next recruits. The strategy is clear: to strengthen, but at a lower cost.

After Ruben Kluivert and Afonso Moreira, new arrivals are expected. Especially in the offensive sector, if we believe the director of the Lyonnais recruit, Matthieu Louis-Jean.
“Players will still join us, especially in the offensive sector. Ruben Kluivert and Afonso Moreira, we have been following them for a while. We have recruited a Portuguese scout which takes care of Portugal and Spain (…) The offensive positions are the privileged positions on the next recruitments. In the middle too. We know that it is missing from the worldE, “he said at the OLTV microphone.

In recent days, a new player seemed very close to OL: Pierre Lees-Melou. The Gones and the Brest midfielder would even have reached an agreement but the situation seems to have changed in recent hours. The team reveals in its edition of the day that Olympique Lyonnais would have decided to abandon this track.

Pierre Lees-Melou moves away from OL

Indeed, the Gones informed the player of their decision after having suffered yet another refusal of the Brest stadium. Olympique Lyonnais would have made three proposals for the player, including one last of 5.5 million euros. They were all failed by the Breton club, which had nevertheless granted an exit voucher to its midfielder.

If Pierre Lees-Melou moves away, another player seems to approach. The sports daily indicates that Rhodanians could soon send an offer to Liverpool for their English hope, Tyler Morton. As a reminder, the Reds claim at least nine million euros for their midfielder.
