Foot OL – A dream transfer falls through for OL – Olympique Lyonnais

Having left Lyon in January 2022, Bruno Guimaraes is clearly reaching a milestone in the Newcastle jersey. So much so that his English club is preparing to extend him with a huge contract. Bad news for OL…

For two years, or a little less knowing that the Covid considerably reduced the number of matches in 2020, Bruno Guimaraes brought joy to theOL. With Les Gones, the midfielder even reached the semi-finals of the Champions League. A time long ago since Lyon is now vegetating in the red zone of Ligue 1 after a catastrophic start to the season, while in the meantime, Guimaraes is having fun at Newcastle. Arriving as part of a 50 million euro transfer in January 2022, the Brazilian international quickly became one of the leaders of the Magpies. Playing in the C1 this season, in the PSG or AC Milan group, the 25-year-old player has really reached a milestone in recent months. It is therefore not surprising to see that major European clubs have checked his name in the transfer window. Simple interests since Guimaraes feels very good in England, where he is also preparing to extend his contract.

According to information from 90 Min, Newcastle have actually reached an agreement in principle with their midfield star. Following a period of doubts about his future, Guimaraes chose to continue his adventure with the Magpies, where he will become the highest paid player in the locker room thanks to money from Saudi Arabia, owner of the English club. . If this news will delight Newcastle’s followers, it is clearly the soup of grimaces on the OL side… It must be said that the Gones were hoping for a big transfer from Guimaraes to a championship other than the Premier League to recover a little silver. Because let’s remember, Lyon has “a 20% profit-sharing on any capital gain” on Guimaraes’ upcoming transfer. Knowing that the Brazilian could have left for more than 70 million euros, OL would have potentially received a nice check which would have been welcome in this period of crisis. But that won’t be the case for the moment, knowing that Guimaraes will stay at Newcastle.
