OL need money before passing the DNCG. The Rhone club is even ready to sell its nuggets: Rayan Cherki, Castello Lukeba or even Bradley Barcola. Interesting for Manchester United who could strengthen with the Lyonnais.
Lyon supporters were hoping for a fiery transfer window from their club this summer. There could well be fire at OL this summer but not in the hoped-for way. Indeed, the DNCG would expect 60 million euros from OL before the end of June as well as solid financial guarantees. A crushing blow for OL who will not play in the European Cup for the second year in a row. If John Textor remains confident in appearance, the American plans to sell off the nuggets of the club. Rayan Cherki and Castello Lukeba are under threat, being the club’s two biggest marketers. However, Bradley Barcola is also not immune according to various media reports.
Man United is targeting 5 OL players!
The mass exodus is likely to become a reality since Manchester United is very interested in the Lyon sale. According to information from the Daily Express, the Mancunian club covets young Lyon nuggets and not only. Five Rhone players are in the sights of the Red Devils. Rayan Cherki is obviously part of this list with his young friends Bradley Barcola and Castello Lukeba. The latter is not the only center mentioned since Sinaly Diomandé is also targeted. Finally, the situation of Thiago Mendes is also being monitored. These five elements are not considered untransferable by OL management.

Five names, some of which may seem more surprising than others. Nevertheless, the goal for Manchester United is to complete its squad as much as possible. The prospect of winning so many high-potential players at competitive prices appeals to the Mancunian club. However, sales may not be as generous as expected. Other English teams are in the running for the Lyonnais as confirmed by the Daily Express. Chelsea have listed the same five players as Manchester United while Liverpool are lured by Bradley Barcola only. A financial boon for OL but a sporting disaster announced for its supporters, who hope that John Textor will not give in so easily to so many people.
