In search of cash at the end of the transfer window, OL has just fired one of its transferees.
Where is OL going? We don’t know. Both on the pitch and behind the scenes, the Rhone club doesn’t seem to have much control at the moment. The proof is that, after starting the championship with two big disappointments, Lyon has pushed one of its winter transfers towards the exit.
The victim is called Orel Mangala. Disappointing during the six months he spent at the Groupama Stadium, the Belgian international will return to England and the Everton club. A transfer in the form of a loan. The Toffees will take charge of a good part of the player’s salary.
An OL flop ruled out
As a reminder, Lyon had paid 23.4 million euros to acquire Mangala just two months ago, at the end of a paid loan. The Red Devil had only played 8 league matches with the Gones.
Mangala’s departure has given Lyon more latitude in the transfer market. Among the immediate consequences that have occurred is the finalization of the deal for the young American Tanner Tessmann.
