3M €, a nice shot in sight for Lyon this winter?
While OL are expecting some sales to replenish their funds this winter, excellent news has come from Brazil.
A one-way ticket for an unwanted OL this winter?
Juninho leaving for Lyon, one of his young compatriots should also pack up in the coming months. Since his induction in 2019, the sports director of Olympique Lyonnais has enlarged the Auriverde community of Gones. Thiago Mendes, Jean Lucas, Bruno Guimaraes, Lucas Paqueta and Camilo have joined the ranks of OL. Unlike his compatriots, Camilo never had his chance in Lyon. Since March, he returned to the fold where he is ready with option to buy at Cuiaba Esporte Club. According to Globo, the Brazilian club are said to be willing to keep the 22-year-old midfielder. He sees his loan end on December 31. Only, nothing indicates that Cuiaba can lift the release clause of the player passed to 3 million euros.
A great deal for Lyon
Olympique Lyonnais is currently having a sluggish first part of the season. After 18 days of Ligue 1 Uber Eats, OL are only in 12th place. To go up the slope in the second half of the season, Lyon hopes to strengthen this winter. At least one attacking signing is expected in the winter transfer window. The Rhone club will indeed have to deal with the departures in attack of Karl Toko Ekambi, Islam Slimani or Tino Kadawere. These African internationals will participate in the next CAN scheduled between January and February in Cameroon. A sale of Camilo could therefore allow the Gones to obtain some liquidity in view of the signing of a reinforcement this winter. Recruited for 2 million euros, the Brazilian midfielder is listed at 1.5 million euros on Transfer market, or half of what Lyon set for its purchase option.
