OL Mercato: No agreement between Lyon and SM Caen, according to Pickeu
Seduced by the talent and profile of John Lepenant, OL went after the young defensive midfielder of SM Caen. According to RMC Sports, the Rhone club and the player already have a contractual agreement, pending the official opening of the summer transfer window on June 10. Asked about the file of the very promising player, Olivier Pickeu threw a big cold snap on the track leading to Olympique Lyonnais. According to the latter, Lyon is a likely destination, but nothing has been settled with the Rhone club.
“Is OL a probable lead? I’m thinking more of other clubs. Today, it’s not tied up with Lyon “replied the president of the Norman club, on Radio Phoenix. “You have to take into account the player’s wishes, the salary negotiation and the negotiation linked to the dry transfer. Lots of unresolved issues. Today, I am not aligned with the various proposals, ”clarified the manager of Stade Malherbe de Caen.
6 to 8 M€ to sell Johann Lepenant?
According to the confidences of Olivier Pickeu, it is always possible that Johann Lepenant will be transferred to a club other than the Gones. “I’m only thinking of finding a big club for him, sized for the Champions League, so that this club can lend him to us for another year”, he announced. Last week, Inside Les Gones let it be known that the Ligue 2 club is being greedy, demanding transfer compensation “between 6 and 8 million euros” for its 19-year-old nugget, very courted at the moment. In addition to OL, Stade Rennais and LOSC in Ligue 1, then Atlético Madrid and Arsenal have their sights on Johann Lepenant.
