Pending the decision of the DNCG, Olympique Lyonnais continues to prospect in South America. Thanks to the networks of its owner John Textor, the Rhone club spotted the young talent of Flamengo Victor Hugo, considered as the potential successor to Lucas Paqueta.
Let the supporters of Olympique Lyonnais be reassured, if John Textor and his collaborators have a watchful eye on South America, it is not only to send players to Botafogo. After the arrival of Jeffinho last January, the owner of the Rhone club could bring other talents to Les Gones. Lyon is indeed interested in the young midfielder of Flamengo Victor Hugo.
A new Brazilian talent targeted
According to information from Globo Esporte, the seventh in Ligue 1 has inquired about the Brazilian to find out his price. The source does not reveal the amount claimed. But we learn that Olympique Lyonnais has not yet made its first offer for this player already promised a bright future. Due to their similar qualities, the 19-year-old midfielder is not immune to comparisons with a certain Lucas Paqueta.
Flattering comments for Victor Hugo, especially since his eldest shone Lyon before leaving 61 million euros there for his transfer to West Ham last summer. Note that the target of Olympique Lyonnais had extended until 2027 last July, by accepting a release clause of 100 million euros. Suffice to say that this lease will not facilitate the task of the Rhone management on this file.

The decision is indeed as follows: Stay of proceedings pending further information from the club— OL Progress (@LeProgresOL) June 28, 2023
But for the moment, the leaders have certainly not planned to take action before knowing the decision of the DNCG. Remember that the financial policeman of French football, after the hearing of Olympique Lyonnais on Wednesday, pronounced a ” stay of proceedings, pending further information “. His verdict will greatly influence John Textor’s first summer transfer window in Lyon.
