Team News: Brighton midfielder Bunanot wants to go to Lyon, who is striving for a year on loan

The Team News reported that Brighton midfielder Bunanot wanted to join Lyon.

With Ernest Numach still having a long recovery period due to a torn cruciate ligament last season, Lyon Club has listed the right wing position as a priority reinforcement target this summer. Management recently came to Adam Karabek on loan from Sparta Prague, the Czech player has won his first goal against Metz. But the left footer will join as a substitute, and the club is still looking for a real regular player.

According to British sources, Lyon has recently convinced Brighton's young offensive midfielder Bunanot. The Argentine international was moved by the planning of Fonseca and Lyon's senior executives, and the club has listed it as a key signing target. But there are still major obstacles in the deal. Although Premier League clubs have not included it in the first team plan, they are currently only willing to loan the attacker who has contracted to 2028 to the Premier League for training. Brighton has loaned him to Leicester City last season and still has high expectations for him in the future. The Argentine has not been selected for the squad for the first two rounds of the Premier League.

20-year-old Bunanot also received invitations from clubs such as Dortmund and Nottingham Forest, but he has decided to join Lyon. He believes that Lyon's tactical system is very suitable for his sustainable development and is moved by the opportunity to compete in the UEFA Cup.

He will also receive strong support from Taliafico in the club. The two have a close personal relationship and are represented by the same agency Stellar. The final days of the transfer window may be in favor of Lyon, and the club is still negotiating with Brighton to fight for a one-year loan agreement (excluding the buyout option).
