Olympique Lyonnais still lives in uncertainty. Fourth in Ligue 1 last season, Les Gones can hope to play in the Champions League this season, provided they overcome these perilous roadblocks. After eliminating Sparta Prague (1-2, 3-0), we will have to do battle with Fenerbahçe, Mason Greenwood’s new team.
The Turkish club has once again carried out ambitious recruitment, and its financial situation has nothing to do with OL. Because if the Rhone leaders managed to obtain reinforcement (Bidstrup, Duranville, Openda, etc.), they also have a duty to replenish the coffers.
Malick Fofana leaving?
Result, after the departure of Afonso Moreira to Leverkusen for almost 30 million euros, another big sale could take place by the end of the transfer window. It could concern Malick Fofana, because the Belgian striker would thus appear on the shelves of Inter Milan. The Lyon winger would be one of the avenues considered by the Nerazzurri in the event of the departure of Luis Henrique, according to Sky Sports.
This would clearly be a hard blow for OL, because Malick Fofana is one of the main offensive arguments of Paulo Fonseca’s squad. Tuesday evening, against Sparta, he started with his club for the first time since his serious ankle injury last season.
