Yet again, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130 have failed to sign a long-term target this January. Remi Garde was keen on signing Nancy Lorraine midfielder Samba Diakite but it seems that the Malian is heading to the English Premier League.
Olympique Lyonnais have certainly been silent throughout the winter transfer window. Les Gones were linked with moves for UAE International Hamdan Al-Kamali and Mali star Samba Diakite with the latter issuing a come and get me plea before embarking for the
African Cup of Nations to represent http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mali-c2951.
Samba Diakite was keen on making a move to Stade de Gerland and even said that he would leave international duty in order to sign for Lyon. However, Lyon did not do anything regarding this and probably would never be able to sign the player.
The young midfielder is on the verge of securing a move to English Premier League newcomers Queens Park http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Adel-Taarabt-c3610.
The arrival of defender was the Rhone club’s top priority but it no longer seems a possibility. Remi Garde has apparently put his faith on a young academy player in 18-year-old Samuel Umtiti. The French tactician considers the young defender as the future
of the club and is willing to give him ample opportunities to impress.
With almost five days left in the transfer window, one can infer that Les Gones have now put their faith in young players. However, president Jean-Michel Aulas has revealed that the club may just sign a player.
While talking to RMC, he said, “At first, we’ll stay with our current solutions. Our magic wand of the transfer window will be our doctor,” admitted Aulas which is clearly a sign of resignation from the Rhone club’s hierarchy.
Left-back http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aly-Cissokho-c5313 has long since been linked with a move away from the Stade de Gerland. Juventus and AC Milan have been linked with a move for the Frenchman but so far, both Italian sides haven’t come up with a proposal.
Lyon’s transfer activity largely depended on selling a player from the squad and the club has so far not been able to offload any player which means that chances of a new player arriving at the club seem slim.
