Jean-Michel Aulas can breathe, he will not have to sue Atlético Madrid. According to GloboEsporte, Bruno Guimarães has indeed decided to sign in Lyon rather than join the Madrid club, which had matched yesterday the Lyon offer accepted by Athletico Paranaense.
Currently concentrated with the Brazilian Olympic selection, the promising 22-year-old defensive midfielder should quickly commit to OL for 5 years and join France in mid-February, once his pre-Olympic tournament is over. A big hit for Lyon!
Bruno Guimarães favored playing time
GloboEsporte specifies that the info was confirmed to him by the player’s agent as well as Juninho, the sports director of OL. Bruno Guimarães would have favored the Lyons sports project, believing that he was more likely to play regularly in Lyon than at Atlético. A crucial criterion in his eyes, which aims to quickly join the Brazilian selection A.
Recall that L’Equipe and RMC, OL also found an agreement yesterday with Hertha Berlin for the sale of Lucas Tousart, who will however end the season in Lyon on loan. OL will therefore have a very busy environment in the second half of the season and have already found Tousart’s replacement for next season. Rudi Garcia told him at a press conference that he still hoped to recruit a central defender by the end of the transfer window.
