OL Mercato: In search of reinforcements for their attack, Olympique Lyonnais could again recruit a Swiss international this summer.
OL Mercato: A Swiss hope on the shelves of Lyon
Beaten by FC Metz (3-2) this Sunday, Olympique Lyonnais has now said goodbye to the Champions League. Two days before the end of the championship, OL are ten points behind AS Monaco (3rd). After this setback in Moselle, Peter Bosz also recognized that this season is “a failure”. Already confirmed on his future by Jean-Michel Aulas, the Dutch technician should receive a significant reinforcement at the next transfer window. Lyon wants to recruit a new attacking reinforcement. After Xherdan Shaqiri last summer, another Swiss international could join the ranks of Les Gones. The Team reveals Lyon’s interest in Breel’s embolism. The 25-year-old center forward plays for Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Embolo, a good deal for Les Gones this summer?
According to the sports daily, Breel’s embolism would only be a plan B for Olympique Lyonnais. The Rhone club especially wishes to repatriate Alexandre Lacazette, at the end of the contract at Arsenal. But the 30-year-old striker is still far from a return from Lacazette to Lyon. Especially since the Gunners are close to returning to the Champions League next season. As for the Swiss centre-forward, he will only have a one-year contract with the German club at the end of the season. The Yaoundé native has 10 goals and five assists in 30 games in the current campaign.
Like OL, Borussia Mönchengladbach is having a difficult season. Tenth in the Bundesliga, Borussia will not play in any European Cup next season. Interested in Embolo, Lyon would have a serious argument if they were to grab a European spot at the end of this season. To complete this transfer, the seven-time champion of France should pay 15 million euros.
