Benrahma and Mangala expected in Lyon
While
Sky Sports
and the
Sun
spoke of a close agreement between West Ham and Lyon,
L'Equipe
confirmed Tuesday evening the imminent arrival of
Saïd Benrahma
.
Aged 28, the Algerian international (28 caps, 1 goal) would have managed to find a contractual agreement with OL, who will welcome the right winger in the form of a paying loan (5 million euros) matched a non-obligatory purchase option (10 million).
A loan with a purchase option was also the financial arrangement retained in the file leading to
Orel Mangala
, before
Sky Italia
mentioned a dry transfer, concluded around an offer of around thirty million euros which would make the Belgian defensive midfielder from Nottingham Forest the most expensive transfer in the club's history.
Some contractual details remain to be finalized in both files.

Rashford to PSG?
The return of the rumor
Less publicized than that on the future of Kylian Mbappé, the soap opera on a possible arrival of
Marcus Rashford
at PSG is one of the chestnut trees of each transfer window.
And this Wednesday, it's
INews
which puts a piece back in the jukebox by evoking Parisian interest in the 26-year-old English striker, in trouble at Manchester United, where his behavior is debated.
The British daily mentions taking information with a view to a possible arrival this summer, for example to replace Mbappé.
A transfer which would obviously not be negotiated at a lower cost, since the England international (59 caps, 17 goals) recently signed a nice contract extension until 2028.

This would seal the fate of
