The last 48 hours of this transfer window promise to be particularly animated on the side of Lyon. Financial situation obliges, the Rhone club will have to separate from Georges Mikautadze, yet promised to recover the place of Alexandre Lacazette. A real heartbreaker for Lyon supporters, even if their club will recover around 30 million euros thanks to the sale of the Georgian in Villarreal, as revealed by us.
In the sense of arrivals, there could also be surprises. “”We are in contact with these two players that you mentioned (Taremi and the Spanish side CĂ©sar Azpilicueta), Azpilicueta gave its agreement with Seville FC, but we were in advanced discussions.
