Mercato: a nice shot at 0€ already escapes Aulas and Lyon!
Jean-Michel Aulas’ OL – Olympique Lyonnais, who will not be playing in the European Cup next season, are preparing to experience a fairly eventful summer transfer window, both in terms of departures, where it will be difficult for Lyon to retain certain elements like Lucas Paqueta, only at the level of arrivals.
But if the Italian international Emerson Palmieri, who did not give complete satisfaction during his loan to OL, will return to Chelsea and the Brazilian Henrique has not shown himself to his advantage either, Jean-Michel Aulas and the board of Olympique Lyonnais have started looking for a new left side on the side of Lyon for the next season.
And among the many players already targeted for this position by the Gones included Mihailo Ristic (26), author of a goal and three assists in 29 Ligue 1 games played in the jersey of MHSC. But at the end of his contract with Montpellier HSC, the Serbian international left defender (7 caps) will finally commit to Benfica Lisbon, on a free transfer, where he was also expected this Sunday to spend the traditional medical examination, according to information from France Blue Herault.
Too bad for OL and its president Jean-Michel Aulas… it will therefore be necessary to activate other avenues for this position for the Rhone club trained by Peter Bosz. Case to follow for Lyon!
