The transfer window of Olympique Lyonnais will be active, but a file seems to raise concerns for Jean-Michel Aulas, it is the Memphis Depay case.
Returning to Lyon to play in the final of the League Cup and the rest of the Champions League after his serious knee injury, Memphis Depay appears very fit. Enough to bring a sacred reinforcement to Rudi Garcia, who composed without the Dutch striker for several long weeks. But on the side of Olympique Lyonnais, if one is happy to see Memphis Depay making its return, the future of the latter raises many questions at the very moment when OL must make serious savings, the economic impact of the Covid19 epidemic being very violent in Europe, and more particularly in Ligue 1 where everything stopped. Even if Jean-Michel Aulas has been trying for months to extend the player who arrived in 2017 from Manchester United, the Dutch international has signed nothing and he is therefore entering his last year of engagement with Olympique Lyonnais.
And on the side of Groupama Stadium, the president of OL admits that things will be complicated. ” What is the trend for Memphis? He will play the finals that await us. Unfortunately, international transfers will extend until October 13, so we can pick up our players until then! The other championships, except Germany, will start late, and we, like unconscious, will start on August 23. I said that we made fun of the whole of Europe, but we especially make football fans cry, entrepreneurs who invest like me “, Admits, in Le Progrès, a Jean-Michel Aulas aware that the circumstances are not at all favorable for Olympique Lyonnais concerning the Memphis Depay file. The last matches of the 2019-2020 season may, perhaps, be a game-changer for the future of Lyon for the Dutch striker, but for that OL will have to be strong.
