Transfer Deal BreakdownSaid Benrahma’s anticipated transfer to Lyon was set to be a significant move for the player and both clubs. The statement from Sky Sports underscored that “Olympique Lyonnais were delighted to welcome Said Benrahma to Lyon this Thursday to finalize his transfer from West Ham. The two clubs had signed a temporary transfer agreement, and Olympique Lyonnais had obtained approval from the DNCG to allow the transfer to take place smoothly and transparently.”However, as the deadline loomed, complications emerged. Despite Lyon’s proactive approach, entering all required data into the FIFA Transfer Matching System (TMS), West Ham’s apparent inaction became a point of contention. Lyon’s dismay is palpable, as they consider initiating procedures to validate the transaction post-deadline and holding West Ham accountable if necessary.
