Olympique Lyonnais are reportedly on the verge of finalizing the signings of two Brazilian recruits, Lucas Perri and Adryelson.

Some Ligue 1 teams have already made good progress with their winter recruitment. While PSG opened the transfer window from 1er January with the signing of Lucas Beraldo, OL would also be on the verge of completing two arrivals. These are also players from Brazil, and more precisely from Botafogo, the other club owned by the American owner of Les Gones, John Textor.

According to O Globothe presentation of the goalkeeper (26 years old) and the central defender (25 years old) is “scheduled for January 7”. These two reinforcements should cost less than 15 million euros to the current fifteenth in the championship.

A budget of €65 million to recruit

Enough to allow Lyon’s leaders to continue their market calmly. The envelope they have to complete their workforce by January 31 would effectively be 65 million euros, not counting possible future sales. The names of Nemanja Matic (Rennes) and Saïd Benrahma (West Ham) are circulating around Groupama Stadium.
