OL Market: Lyon active la piste Ibrahima Sissoko
After having recruited Alexandre Lacazette and Corentin Tolisso and almost finalized the file of the left back with the scheduled arrival of Nicolas Tagliafico, OL are busy to find a recruit in midfield. Indeed, the Lyon coach, Peter Bosz, would like to have in his workforce a sentry capable of stabilizing the Lyon midfield, considered to be far too weak last season.
Determined to offer a sentinel to Peter Bosz, the daily The Team reveals today that OL have their sights on the midfielder Ibrahima Sissoko from RC Strasbourg. Sissoko has been playing at the RCSA since 2018, he arrived from Stade Brestois. The SB29 will probably follow closely what will happen with Sissoko since the Breton club will receive a percentage on a sale of its former player. However, William Carvalho remains the number one target, but the file being linked to that of Houssem Aouar, Lyon has activated a plan B with the midfielder of the Alsatian club in case the Carvalho track does not succeed.
OL Mercato: William Carvalho remains Lyon’s priority
The priority target for the sentry post still remains William Carvalho. The Portuguese international midfielder has been playing for Betis Sevilla since the summer of 2018 and his contract expires in a year. Thus, Betis is thinking of selling him to avoid losing him without transfer compensation. However, it turns out that Betis is interested in a player from Lyon, in this case Houssem Aouar, who, like Carvalho, is out of contract in a year.
A trade between the two players was under consideration. The daily The Team claimed in its edition last Saturday that the Andalusian club had offered its Portuguese midfielder to lower the price of Aouar. According to information from the daily AS, an agreement has been reached between the two clubs for an Aouar-Carvalho exchange with a valuation of the two players at 8 million euros, with nuances on the fixed and the variable. However, there is an important detail that is blocking the operation for the moment: Aouar demands a salary of 20 million euros net over 5 years, which Betis is not able to offer him in the current state of affairs. things.
