This winter break ultimately comes at the wrong time for Olympique Lyonnais. Pierre Sage’s men, whose future should be made official in the coming days, are riding a series of three consecutive successes. Nine welcome points after a cataclysmic start to the championship which allows them to escape the red zone.

Especially since he will have some means at his disposal. We told you at the beginning of December, an envelope of approximately 50 million euros (excluding potential sales, editor’s note) will be available to Olympique Lyonnais even if the club has not confirmed or given details to this subject.

We will still have to manage to work together on this issue because big teams have also ticked off the name of the former Nancy player, starting with Bayern Munich. A whole different caliber.
