If Michele Kang saved the club by acting as guarantor and working to reduce OL’s abysmal deficit after the disastrous stint of John Textor at its head, the road to recovery is still long for Les Gones. So all sources of bailout are good to take.
This is how good news promises to come these days from England. Former Lyon player Bruno Guimaraes to be transferred from Newcastle to Arsenal for the tidy sum of 87 million euros. However, when he left in 2022 to join the Magpies, the Brazilian was the subject of a special clause in the deal concluded with the Rhone management.
Another big blow in prospect?
A 20% profit-sharing on any possible capital gain was in fact planned. Or 7.4 million euros if we consider the 37 million gap observed compared to the 50 million bet at the time by Londoners. Really good news given OL’s bloodless finances.
Another potentially pleasing prospect: the possible departure of Parisian Bradley Barcola for Liverpool, three years after the latter’s arrival at PSG from the capital of Gaul. This time, by virtue of the 5% training compensation and while the outgoing double European champion is waiting for no less than 170 million euros to sell his attacker, 8.5 million could come to replenish Lyon’s coffers.
