Priority to strengthen the midfield, Joao Gomes will not join Olympique Lyonnais. Despite John Textor’s visit to try to convince him, the Flamengo midfielder prefers to sign Wolverhampton.

Joao Gomes said no John Textor.

Dejan Lovren. This sums up the winter transfer window of Olympique Lyonnais in the direction of arrivals on January 25. While Malo Gusto and Karl Toko Ekambi should respectively join Chelsea and Rennes, the Rhone club could achieve the feat of weakening after a completely failed first part of the season. And the latest information should clearly not reassure fans.

Joao Gomes gave his word Wolverhampton

Indeed, the current 9th in Ligue 1 is on the verge of losing the race for the signing of Joao Gomes (21 years old). While the new owner of Les Gones, John Textor, went to the Flamengo training center in recent hours to try to convince the Brazilian midfielder, the American investor failed in his quest, says O Globo.

The media specifies that the young player does not wish to go back on his word given Wolverhampton, 17th in the Premier League, with whom he has already agreed. A potential failure that is all the more painful for the team chaired by Jean-Michel Aulas since its offer was higher than that of its English counterpart (€19m against €17m).

A boon for El Arouch?

One week from the end of the closing of the transfer market, this setback, one more, inevitably puts the seven-time champion of France in trouble. Unless he has a secret card up his sleeve, Bruno Cheyrou will probably have to bet on a youngster from the training center to complete the professional squad. The opportunity for Mohamed El Arouch, who we lend desires elsewhere, to make his way?
