It remains to be seen whether André Onana will exchange Ajax for Olympique Lyon in the short term. The Telegraph comes Wednesday afternoon with the message that a ‘difference of opinion’ has arisen in the talks between the two clubs. Ajax is betting on a hefty transfer fee for the currently suspended goalkeeper, but Lyon is not prepared to lay down the main prize. The French hope to reach an agreement with Ajax by means of bonuses, it sounds like.
Ajax is sticking to a transfer amount of ten million euros for the goalkeeper from Cameroon, while Lyon currently does not want to go further than three million euros. Les Gones hope to be able to convince Ajax during the negotiations by means of a considerable resale percentage and a bonus system. Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano already reported on Tuesday that Lyon wants to speed up the arrival of Onana, who, according to L’Equipe has already reached a personal agreement with the Ligue 1 club.
according to The Telegraph In the talks with Ajax, the Lyon leadership emphasizes that Onana is in Amsterdam on the eve of his last contract year. As a result, they are not prepared to meet the minimum asking price of ten million euros. In addition, the closing post of Ajax has been suspended until November 4, so that he will not be fully deployable for the club of trainer Peter Bosz next season. What the French also reportedly do not like is that Onana wants to participate in the African Cup in his own country during the winter break, so that he is not available for quite a while.
Lyon has been in the process of bringing in Onana for some time, for whom a five-year contract is ready in the south of France. The goalkeeper wanted to wait until the beginning of July before making the decision, because ‘other French teams’ would be interested in his services. However, Bosz would have played an important role in the decision-making process of 25-year-old Onana, who looks back with a good feeling on the previous collaboration with the Ajax coach.
