While everything seemed to be closed, Olympique Lyonnais is about to lose the battle for left-back Tyrell Malacia (Feyenoord Rotterdam) following the strong comeback of Manchester United, who managed to turn the tide.
Malacia will have to make a choice…
Cold shower in sight for Olympique Lyonnais… For several days, the Gones had been holding the line and were about to strike a blow by recruiting Tyrell Malacia.
At 22, the left-back is coming off a great season which took him to the final of the Europa League Conference with Feyenoord Rotterdam and OL managed to get ahead of the beautiful world, including Manchester United.
Feyenoord-MU agreement for Malacia
While the two clubs had reached a verbal agreement for a transfer of 15 million euros, a last minute disagreement broke out: the 8th of the last Ligue 1 exercise only offered 12 M€ and the rest in bonuses, while the Dutch claimed the full amount without bonus. MU took the opportunity to rush into the breach and journalist Fabrizio Romano revealed on Tuesday that the Red Devils even reached an agreement with Feyenoord for a €15m move plus €2m in bonuses…
The Batavian must decide
Suffice to say that the case is in very bad shape for OL and everything now rests in the hands of Malacia, who must decide. The Dutch international has never hidden his desire to collaborate with Peter Bosz but the option Erik ten Hag, another compatriot, is also very tempting… To make matters worse for Rhone, the Oranje has the same agents as those Barcelona’s Frenkie de Jong, in discussions with MU for several days and who therefore risk pushing him towards Old Trafford…
After a start to the transfer window with a bang with the return of Alexandre Lacazette and that of Corentin Tolisso, plus the additional resources promised by the future majority shareholder John Textor, this file is clearly starting to smell very bad for the Lyonnais…
Malacia, is it lost for OL? Do not hesitate to react and discuss in the area add a comment …
