Landed this summer to make up for the departures of Youssouf Koné and Maxwell Cornet, Emerson very quickly made his mark in the Rhône. An experience at OL possibly cut short, Chelsea made an offer to repatriate him.
Very attentive to its expenses, Olympique Lyonnais tried to recruit cleverly by enlisting Emerson in the form of a loan. Arrived from Chelsea, the 27-year-old side has already played 16 Ligue 1 games and is one of the strong men on whom Peter Bosz can count. Extremely convincing in his performances, his adventure at OL could already be over.
According to information from The Athletic, Chelsea would have made an offer of 4 million euros to OL in order to repatriate Emerson to London. An offer declined by the management of Olympique de Lyonnais. A refusal confirmed by Peter Bosz at a press conference. Present to the press on Friday, the Dutch technician reassured his supporters by saying that the Italian will stay in Lyon this winter.
