The beginning of a long and complex soap opera? While OL had reached an agreement to the tune of 25 million euros with the Brazilian club Athletico Paranaense for the transfer of midfielder Bruno Guimaraes (Lucas Tousart being bound for Berlin), the file was complicated these last hours for the Rhone training.
Indeed, several European competitors have woken up, and according to Brazilian media, Athletico Paranaense would also have accepted an offer from Atlético de Madrid, equivalent to that of OL. For the simple reason … that the Colchoneros would benefit from priority purchase over Bruno Guimaraes, under an agreement made in 2019 between the two clubs. Clearly, Paranaense could not refuse a Madrid offer, if it was equivalent to that of another buyer.
Aulas evokes non-compliance with the regulations
From now on, the ball would be in the middle court, which could therefore have the choice to evolve under the orders of Diego Simeone, or under those of Rudi Garcia. Except that Jean-Michel Aulas doesn’t hear it that way …
The OL president thus seems determined to denounce the “priority agreement” between Athletico Paranaense and Atlético de Madrid, if we believe his words on social networks Thursday evening.
“The clause between the two Atletico seems to me contrary to the FIFA rules and its article 83.1”, slips the leader in a tweet. Problem, the regulation in question (at least the one we consulted) does not contain as many articles. And the “18ter.1”, mentioned by some internet users, concerns the TPO, which is not really the subject. But if he comes to officially contest the agreement, the leader should quickly clarify.
