OL Mercato: Lyon seeks to replace Lucas Paqueta
After the departure of Lucas Paqueta for West Ham, the club have just garnered around 60 million euros, enough to afford new players at the end of the transfer window. While OL had indicated that they were not looking for a replacement for the Brazilian, it seems that Lyon have finally backtracked since Les Gones want to recruit a new midfielder.
Olympique Lyonnais would seek a cador with a lot of experience to compensate for the departure of Lucas Paqueta. The file of the former Barcelonan, Arthur Melo has been activated, according to Nicolo Schira. The player was recruited 75 million euros by Juventus, but he failed to win at the Old Lady where he has played only one minute since the resumption of the championship. But the Lyonnais have also activated a file from a former French international with a lot of experience.
