Expected for several days, the transfer of Saïd Benrahma to Olympique Lyonnais ultimately did not take place. The reason ? West Ham did not send the necessary documents on time while Olympique Lyonnais had, for their part, entered all the administrative data on the dedicated FIFA platform (FIFA TMS). If the Rhone club has already planned an appeal before FIFA, and the body has opened an investigation into the aborted deals of the Hammers concerning Benrahma and Fornals, Pierre Sage, the technician of the Gones, has broken the silence . Present at a press conference this Friday, the Lyon coach logically displayed his disappointment. “Obviously disappointed. Disappointed for us, disappointed for the club and for everyone who has worked on the subject so far. I am very disappointed for him because, having spoken to him on the phone Thursday evening, he was very enthusiastic”first launched the 44-year-old Frenchman.
And to add: “Everyone around him was also very happy that he joined Lyon. So that’s why, we hope that the situation will be resolved. There is hope that it will happen. We will do everything for it because it would obviously add value to our workforce with an additional solution. I think there is a little legal hiccup to resolve or in the procedure. Afterwards, I don’t know if there are already precedents for this type of situation, but our idea is to defend to the end the possibility of him joining us. At the same time we really want him to come as we have shown and he also really wants to come”. That being said, it remains to be seen the final verdict of the authorities in this heated issue…
