The transfers of Pavel Sulc and Adam Karabec were concluded quickly, in just a few days. However, the search for a replacement for Lucas Perri from Leeds proved to be more complex and stressful for the Lyon leadership. This difficulty is due to the insistent demand and delicate negotiations with Majorelle’s club, which tried to maximize the transfer allowance. Despite these obstacles, OL seems to be on the verge of finalizing the signature of 28-year-old Slovak goaltender Domiink Greif.

Paulo Fonseca’s interest in Domiink Greif goes back several weeks, and an agreement in principle was reached with the player. Nevertheless, Majorelle exerted considerable pressure, demanding bank guarantees and seeking greater financial compensation for the departure of their guardian. OL, however, maintained its position, offering a €4 million transfer, up by €2 million in bonuses.

Domiink Greif, not selected by his club for the match against Barcelona this weekend, will have to adapt quickly to his new environment in Lyon. This arrival is all the more urgent as Paulo Fonseca will have to match Rémy Descamps in the first Ligue 1 match against Lens, in the absence of Greif. The signature of Domiink Greif is therefore an important reinforcement for the goaltender position of the Lyon team, allowing Fonseca to have a solid alternative for the coming season.
