OL mad with anger at West Ham after Said Benrahma transfer failure!
As expected at OL in the last hours of the winter transfer window and while the formality was awaited, Said Benrahma (28 years old) will not finally join the Ron club. A huge twist of theater sparked outrage in Lyon, who wasted no time in reacting with an official press release. “This February 2, Olympique Lyonnais deeply regrets the failure of the transfer of Said Benrahma, due to reasons beyond its control, and questions the behavior of West Ham who failed to finalize the necessary administrative procedures despite the completion of all agreements”Initially the current of L1 shows 16th.
Subsequently, OL also confirmed that a temporary transfer agreement has been reached and the club has obtained approval from the DNCG to allow the transfer to take place smoothly and transparently. Yes, but if all the lights were green, the deal was ultimately broken. The reason? West Ham failed to send the required documents on time “While Olympique Lyonnais entered all administrative data on a dedicated FIFA platform (FIFA TMS), despite repeated reminders and constant mutual telephone communication from OL, West Ham never initiated the slightest technical process on its part”.
OL considering action against West Ham!
“In the absence of this reciprocal action from the English club and following this incomprehensible behaviour, raising questions, the request for an international transfer certificate cannot be made before the expiry of time”This perspective continues to OL, burnt by the behavior of the Hammers. “Olympic Lyonnais deeply regrets this situation and this decision, which shows a deep lack of respect from West Ham towards the organization and the player”. A file that shouldn’t be closed there because Gons made it clear “The club subsequently reserves the right to initiate all appropriate procedures necessary to validate the transaction and hold West Ham responsible if necessary.”.
Meanwhile, Saeed Benrahma, the author of 22 matches in all competitions since the start of the season, will return to the Hammers. Requested by several other clubs this winter (Olympic de Marseille, Fulham and Brentford), the player, who did not participate in the last African Cup of Nations with Algeria, will also have to digest this unfortunate result. For their part, OL, who completed the arrivals of Malik Fofana, Gift Orban, Nemanja Matic and Orel Mangala, will finally have to give up their last winter trek…
