Target of OL for his sentry, Renato Tapia is moving away from the Lyon club. More than the DNCG, it is above all the possibility of having Spanish nationality which would have made the Peruvian change his mind.
Data will now be an integral part of recruitment at theOL and had already borne fruit. Thanks to the use of data, the Lyon club had targeted the ideal profile for the position of number 6 wanted by Laurent Blanc. A name had emerged at the top of the list, that of Renato Tapia. Not the best known on the football planet, but at 28, the midfielder RC Celta seemed to tick all the boxes wanted by the recruitment cell. Everything seemed to be tied up between all the parties for a quick arrival. The holding of a friendly against the Galician club on July 29 went in this direction. And the machine has jammed in the last few hours.
In Vigo since 2020
Having resumed training with Celta, Tapia seems to be moving a little further away from the Rhône every day. The fault of the DNCG ? The sanctions pronounced by the financial policeman do not help OL to have any real room for manoeuvre, but the turnaround in the situation could be explained above all by a decision by the player.
Renato Tapiawhich evolved for several seasons in the Netherlands, wears the colors of the Celtic vigo since 2020. He will start his fourth season in La Liga, which will soon give him the right to obtain Spanish nationality. And it is above all this detail, as advanced by RMC and echoed Olympic-and-lyonnaiswhich is not without importance, which therefore obliges theOL to activate his plans B in the search for a sentry.
