While he thought he had completed a final transfer thanks to the paying loan from Saïd Benrahma, OL saw the operation canceled due to an error by West Ham.
Hard blow for Olympique Lyonnais. Saïd Benrahma will not arrive at Les Gones as expected. The Rhone club had, however, agreed with West Ham on the basis of a paying loan of 5 million euros, with a purchase option set at 15 million euros.
But the affair ultimately collapsed. According to The Team, West Ham actually forgot to enter certain information in the TMS, FIFA’s transfer software, before the fateful hour. An error which prevents the approval of its transfer. According to Fabrizio Romano, OL are considering appealing but this is unlikely to succeed.
