Ernest Nuamah’s potential move to Everton has been put on hold, as Lyon is set to receive €33 million from the sale of Botafogo winger Luiz Henrique to Russian club Zenit.
According to L’Equipe, both Lyon and Botafogo, the reigning 2024 Copa Libertadores champions, share the same owner John Textor.
Lyon hold Henrique’s sporting rights, entitling the French club to the entire €33 million transfer fee.
This financial boost will help Lyon balance their books amidst ongoing challenges.
The Ligue 1 side is expected to retain Nuamah, as they are unable to secure a replacement due to a transfer ban.
