Foot OL – OL: Dubois and Boateng, Lyon wants to fire them – Olympique Lyonnais
Peter Bosz made no secret of it at a press conference, OL will have to part with several players in the transfer window in order to reduce the workforce.
During the transfer window, many coaches consider their workforce too tight and ask their leaders for reinforcements in order to be more competitive. It is exactly the opposite that is happening at Olympique Lyonnais, where Peter Bosz would like to have a smaller group in training. And for good reason, this week, the Dutch coach has nearly 35 professional players under his management, a total far too high for a club not qualified for the European Cup. OL must therefore cut back and according to L’Equipe, two executives have been identified by the staff of the Lyon club with a view to leaving. The first of them is none other than Léo Dubois, captain last season. Peter Bosz clearly wants to install Malo Gusto next season on the right and obviously, the ex-captain of FC Nantes has taken the message.
Dubois and Boateng towards a departure from OL
He wants to leave, aware that his playing time will be reduced at Olympique Lyonnais next season. In addition, Léo Dubois is clearly in the crosshairs of Rhone supporters and does not want to persist in a club where he is no longer wanted. In recent days, Fulham has approached OL for a loan from Léo Dubois but Jean-Michel Aulas favors a dry transfer of around 10 million euros for the one who had joined the club for zero euros, at the end of his contract with Nantes. In the defensive sector, Peter Bosz is also in favor of the departure of Jérôme Boateng. The former Bayern Munich defender had a horrible first season at Olympique Lyonnais and would like a second chance. He still hopes to stay but on the side of OL, we have unambiguously shown the way out to the 2014 world champion, who will have to face competition from Castelo Lukeba and Thiago Mendes, who has been extended and whose qualities Bosz loves as a central defender. Internally, the professionalism of Boateng and Dubois is mentioned. But the management of OL, which will not retain either Kadewere or Aouar, has decided and will try to find a way out for its two defenders.
