Mercato: already in check for Kurzawa, Lyon turns to Chelsea – Maxifoot

Cooled as quickly as it appeared, the track leading to left side Layvin Kurzawa (PSG) may have trouble being materialized by Olympique Lyonnais who are negotiating for the place with Chelsea for Emerson.

Faced with the probable departure of Maxwel Cornet, which is the subject of an offer of 17 million euros from Burnley, and the lack of guarantees offered by his rookie Henrique Silva, Olympique Lyonnais wishes to strengthen himself as left side on this transfer window.

In recent hours, a name has come up with insistence in the Rhne, that of Layvin Kurzawa (28 years old). Marketed by Paris Saint-Germain, the French international had, according to RMC Sport, agreed to come, while the newspaper Le Parisien confirmed the opening of negotiations between the two clubs.

Kurzawa too greedy

Problem: The Team has seriously put a damper on this issue. The sports daily thus ensures that no agreement has been reached, not only between the two clubs, and even less between OL and the player. It is moreover especially the position of the latter that seems to pose a problem. Indeed, the monthly salary of the former Mongasque (700,000 euros) is far too high for the finances of Lyon, which could only offer him half as much. Not necessarily decided to leave the capital, the Habs are obviously not inclined to make an effort on this plan and this file promises to be highly compromised for the Gones.

The Emerson Alternative

The club chaired by Jean-Michel Aulas has therefore activated another track, which leads Chelsea and Emerson Palmieri (27). Barr by Ben Chilwell and Marcos Alonso in his lane, the Italian international will not be retained by the Blues, who would be willing to sell him in the form of a loan with a compulsory purchase option one year after the end of his contract. This formula would suit Lyonnais, financially limited this summer.

The recent winner of the Euro has the distinction of having played almost more in the national team than in the club last season (15 games against 12 with Squadra Azzurra) and his lack of rhythm can be questioning, but he took part in the meetings. which count and was notably titular in the semi-finals and in the final of the Euro following the injury of Leonardo Spinazzola. Chelsea will not sell off the Brazilian by birth, but he has shown interest in the Rhone project and his salary is presented as compatible with OL’s finances. There are already two good points in relation to the Kurzawa case …
