We need a controlling midfielder who is a true chance creator and with great passing range and good in defense. Basically a Verratti/Thiago. IMO only two young CM?a resemble that profile; Bruno Guimaraes and Ndombele. Bruno probably a bit more.
Probably my top target for our midfield. Lyon is often ready to talk and don?t demand abnormal fees usually.
He has just arrived to Lyon. I doubt they would ideally want to sell him this soon. However, Lyon is in big trouble financially with no CL next season (unless they win CL this year, which is not happening) and the TV rights not being paid due to the early termination of the season. Lyon relies a lot on good transfers to balance their accounts (Ndomb?l? last year for example). Maybe Aouar and Demb?l? will be sold first.
Generally speaking, this is the perfect time for european teams to raid French clubs. The early termination of the league means this league is done financially. French clubs are broke.
