One less holder for Olympique Lyonnais. In the aftermath of the friendly match against Molenbeek, goalkeeper Lucas Perri is preparing his suitcases.
According to RMC, the Brazilian porter will take the direction of Leeds United. An agreement was reached between the two clubs, and the former Botafogo player, who would have already said goodbye to his teammates, is about to fly to England to pass his medical examination with the promoted.
The team adds that this transfer will bring 16 million euros to Olympique Lyonnais. Important clarification, the whole this sum will be perceived by the Rhone club. With OL and the agreements implemented by the various clubs linked to John Textor, there are sometimes surprises on that side, but this will not be the case this time.

This departure from Lucas Perri is not a surprise, since it was included in the budget presented to the DNCG a few weeks ago. The 27 -year -old Brazilian is one of the players with beautiful market value, which OL must monetize in his current situation.
The goalkeeper sector is definitely in the middle of the work in Lyon. The Gones are currently trying to cancel the arrival of the American Matt Turner, negotiated by John Textor in an amount deemed too high (8 million euros). OL hopes to find an agreement to compensate Nottingham Forest. And it will then be necessary to find another titular goalkeeper.
