Funny day for Olympique Lyonnais. In addition to the Malick Fofana file, still not officially resolved, the Rhone residents missed out on Youssouf Fofana, who finally signed up with Sevilla. OL also missed the sale of Nicolas Tagliafico to Atlético.
Another player announced as leaving, Ainsley Maitland-Niles will indeed leave the Rhone club. Arriving at the club in 2023, the former Arsenal, AS Roma and Southampton player played 119 matches with the Lyonnais, scoring 6 goals and 16 assists. A rather positive passage for someone who has 5 caps with the English selection.
Ainsley Maitland-Niles goes English style
He will make a return to the Premier League since the Everton club has just offered his services. The club coached by David Moyes paid 5 million euros to poach him when he only had one year left on his contract with Les Gones. With a good salary, he will do good to Lyon’s finances with his departure to the Perfidious Albion.
“Everton completed the deadline day signing of Ainsley Maitland-Niles, on a permanent transfer from Olympique Lyonnais for an undisclosed fee. The 29-year-old right-back has signed a three-year contract until the end of June 2029.we can read in a press release published by the Toffees.
