Danilho Deokhi pleases OL

The day started rather well at OL. The team has just slapped Majorca in friendly on the 4-0 score. Until then, the summer preparation takes place without a hitch since it is a third success in four outings (Villefranche-Beaujolais, victory 1-0), the RWDM Brussels, (match 0-0 and Hamburg, victory 4-0). It is a good surprise for gones that experience a particularly intense transfer window. Some are on departure as Caleta-Car and possibly Fofana when others are mentioned to come.

We especially think of Tyler Morton de Liverpool but that's not all. We told you earlier in the day of the progress of negotiations with the Brest stadium for Pierre Lees-Melou and the new track to strengthen the defense is called Danilho Doekhi. The Dutchman of the Berlin Union, which has solid experience, is rather unknown in France. This former international hope (5 selections) still has an interesting business card since he has holder in his club since he put his luggage there in the summer of 2022.

Paulo Fonseca and his staff already seduced

It is above all its contractual situation which appeals to the Lyon management. The 27 -year -old has only a year of contract in the German capital. According to our information, OL would like to attract it. It could be available for a sum oscillating around € 9 million, even though TransferMarkt per rating at € 13 million. We will still have to be wary of competition because other European clubs are on this solid fellow of 1m90.

Doekhi comes out of a great season with the Union Berlin (36 games played, 1 goal) and asserts itself as a safe bet with Paulo Fonseca and its staff which are seduced by its athletic profile, its leadership qualities, its defensive reliability as well as its head game. So many qualities that could push OL to take action. We are not there yet, but here is a new ambitious target in a Mercato Lyonnais to say the least.
