Laurent Blanc takes stock of the next transfer window arrivals

Without convincing, OL won against AC Ajaccio on Sunday and are gradually climbing the standings (2-0). A satisfying victory for Laurent Blanc on Corsican soil. “It’s never easy in Corsica. Every time I have been here I have found it difficult. Ajaccio needed points, but hey, the main thing was done. I’m always very demanding when we have the ball and we easily managed to create chances. We should have done it more often. We are not in the best position and Ajaccio played their game, it was difficult.he first explained at the microphone of Canal +.

But beyond the results, the Lyon news is especially on the side of the transfer window. While OL have already sold Matheus Tetê (Leicester), Romain Faivre (Lorient) and Karl Toko Ekambi (Rennes), the Rhone club does not intend to let go of Rayan Cherki. But the Gones coach cast doubt on the future of the young talent, still targeted by Paris Saint-Germain, who released a third offer to afford the young Lyonnais, as we had announced. “Rayan Cherki is still there, we want him to stay. We hope to be able to do what we had planned for the transfer window, but it’s difficult. We want to regenerate the group.added Laurent Blanc.

“The departure of Karl Toko Ekambi was not planned”

Laurent Blanc also spoke at the arrivals level, while Amin Sarr, striker from SC Heerenven, and Jeffinho, striker from Botafogo, should land very soon. “Yes, Amin Sarr, I have been watching him for some time. Jeffinho, a little less. They are players with potential. The departure of Karl Toko Ekambi was not planned, so with this loan, it was necessary to strengthen. Even if our young people also have the place to play, like the beautiful match of Bradley (Barcola), this evening “added Blanc, at the microphone of Prime Video.

What reassure Lyon supporters at the end of the transfer window, even if the track towards João Gomes, promising Brazilian midfielder, quickly moved away, he who preferred to give his agreement to Wolverhampton. The OL transfer window is therefore finally coming to life on the arrivals side. It remains to be seen whether Jean-Michel Aulas, John Textor and his team are still waiting for a midfielder and a defensive reinforcement, before Tuesday evening, the deadline for the winter transfer window.
