French media: Lyon is interested in Brighton midfielder Bunanot and must face Dortmund s competition

According to French media footmercato, Lyon is interested in Brighton midfielder Bunanot, but they may find it difficult to sign players directly but prefer to loan. The report stated that although Lyon no longer has the ability to sign heavily this summer, it will be an important step for Lyon, which must ensure the strength of the lineup to prepare for the new season of Ligue 1 and UEFA Cup. Previously, famous reporter Romano has revealed that Lyon is taking action against Brighton player Bunanot.

footmercato said this news can be confirmed. Bunanot has outstanding skills, delicate dribbling and excellent game vision. He is also a versatile player who can play both an attacking midfielder and appear on the right wing. He is also regarded as a player with the ability to change the game with his own strength. Therefore, he is an ideal reinforcement object for Lyon.

But the problem is that the feasibility of this transfer remains to be seen. Although Lyon has joined the battle, they will face many obstacles. First of all, because the clubs are still under the supervision of salary structure and transfer fees, it is difficult to imagine that they will pay the 20 million euro transfer fee that Brighton may require, and the senior executives of Lyon prefer a loan plan.

In addition, Lyon will have to face competition from Dortmund, the Bundesliga team is also following up on the deal, and they are better than Lyon in both financial and competitive levels.

20-year-old Bunanot made a total of 35 appearances for Brighton last season, contributing 6 goals and 3 assists. His current contract ends in 2028, with a market value of 20 million euros.

At present, Lyon has lost Lacazette and Almada, and Veletu may also leave the team, so it is urgent to strengthen it in the midfield and frontcourt. It is not clear how viable the deal is, but Leon's Lewis Jean, who is responsible for signing, has begun to operate actively and hopes to use his connections and experience to complete this key reinforcement this summer.
