Olympique Lyonnais got back to work. Seventh in the last Ligue 1 ranking, the Rhone club is working hard not to miss its recovery. And for good reason. Opposed to Paris Saint-Germain on July 31 at the Stade de France in the final of the League Cup, the Gones will have a first opportunity (pending the Champions League) to hang the wagon for Europe.

But it is not only on the ground that summer promises to be animated on the side of the seven-time champions of France. As he has said many times, Jean-Michel Aulas expects to experience a complicated transfer window. Between unwanted financial losses for purchases and a terrible lack of exposure for his best assets, the president of OL will have to juggle.
OL still sure of nothing for Memphis
In an interview with Progress, JMA has also confirmed that it will not be easy for him to fully satisfy his sports director, Juninho. “It is Juni, Bruno (Cheyrou) and Rudi (Garcia), who will manage this. You would have to be crazy or malicious to question the choices Juni could make. We are trying to give it the means, but it is difficult because we have lost more than 100 million in turnover ”, he said, while announcing all the same to be certain that his LO will have a “Very good team” who will gain something. But that’s not all.
Unsurprisingly, the boss of Gones also said that several elements will pack up. “There will be departures, and we will have to make choices because we have more than 30 players. We will have to give in, lend others ”. Linked to OL until 2021 and still not extended, is Memphis Depay one of those players affected by a departure? “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! “ OL still trembles as much for its Batavian striker.
