Botafogo recebe €23 milhões do Nottingham Forest e empresta €25,5 milhões ao Lyon em operações complexas O Botafogo viveu uma série de transações financeiras envolvendo o Nottingham Forest e o Lyon, segundo reportagem do jornal “O Globo”. O clube recebeu €23 milhões do Nottingham Forest em 4 de junho de 2025, enquanto emprestou €25,5 milhões ao Lyon no dia seguinte. A operação foi descrita como uma negociação confusa e mal explicada durante a gestão de John Textor. O depósito do Nottingham Forest incluiu €19 milhões referentes à venda do atacante Igor Jesus, €1 milhão pelo meia Cuiabano e €3 milhões pelo volante Jair. Segundo o jornal, a venda de Igor Jesus foi formalizada por €19 milhões, enquanto Jair foi negociado por €11 milhões. A transferência de Cuiabano, por sua vez, foi confirmada por €4 milhões, conforme informado pelo jornalista João Pedro Fragoso. Além dessas operações, o Botafogo também lidou com a saída do goleiro John e a chegada do volante Danilo. A reportagem destaca que os €23 milhões recebidos do Nottingham Forest foram usados para compensar outras movimentações do clube, incluindo a saída de John e a contratação de Danilo. Um ponto curioso da transação é que, na época, John Textor já não estava mais à frente do Lyon, e o modelo de caixa único, que era uma característica da gestão do clube, havia sido abandonado. Hoje, o Botafogo afirma que ainda tem direito a receber valores significativos do Lyon, embora a operação de empréstimo tenha sido feita em 2025. A reportagem também menciona que, durante a gestão de Textor, o clube enfrentou desafios financeiros, incluindo a necessidade de buscar recursos para manter a equipe competitiva. A complexidade das transações reflete a dificuldade de equilibrar as finanças do clube em um contexto de pressão por resultados e investimentos.#lyon #nottingham_forest #botafogo #john_textor #o_globo

Rayan Cherki's biggest flaw revealed by ex-Lyon co-star despite Man City playmaker's 'incredible' ability Rayan Cherki, the 22-year-old Manchester City summer signing, has been celebrated as one of football’s most naturally gifted talents, but his former Lyon teammate Remy Riou has highlighted a recurring challenge in the player’s game. Despite being compared to a freestyle footballer like Ronaldinho, Riou described Cherki’s tendency to overcomplicate situations as a key obstacle to his consistency. During their time together at Lyon, the creative playmaker’s flair often led to moments of confusion for defenders and goalkeepers alike. Cherki’s journey from Lyon prodigy to City’s key player has been marked by impressive stats. Over two years at Lyon, he made 185 appearances, scoring 29 goals and providing 45 assists, solidifying his reputation as a standout in Ligue 1. His move to the Premier League in 2025 saw him quickly adapt, netting nine goals and adding 10 assists in 37 matches. However, Riou’s insights suggest that Cherki’s approach to the game—while dazzling—often left teammates and opponents struggling to keep up. Riou, who played alongside Cherki at Lyon, shared his perspective with So Foot, explaining how the player’s unpredictable style created challenges. “Rayan could do incredible things, but he did too much,” Riou said. “He’d dribble past four players, but when he had to pass because he’d created space, he’d try another trick instead of making a simple decision. He was confusing, yes, but after a while, you realize he’s not going to make the pass, so you stay focused on him.” This inconsistency, Riou argued, led to defensive players losing their composure, as they tried to anticipate every move without success.#pep_guardiola #man_city #rayan_cherki #remy_riou #lyon

Coupe de France: Marseille cherche un titre après 14 ans, Lyon affronte Lens en quart de finale Marseille, qui n’a pas remporté la Coupe de France depuis 2012, tente de briser sa longue disette en quart de finale contre Toulouse, mercredi, après avoir remporté un match crucial en Ligue 1 contre l’OL. L’OM, dirigé par le nouveau entraîneur Habib Beye, a interrompu une série négative en s’imposant dans les dernières secondes, un contraste avec les pertes répétées de points et de confiance cette saison. L’équipe, qui reste fragile, doit éviter de reproduire l’erreur de 2023, où elle s’est effondrée à domicile contre un club de L2, Annecy, après avoir éliminé le PSG. Le tableau de la Coupe de France s’est ouvert après l’élimination du Paris Saint-Germain, vainqueur de huit des onze dernières éditions. Marseille espère profiter de cette ouverture pour écrire une nouvelle page de son histoire. Cependant, le Téfécé, un adversaire redoutable, a démontré sa capacité à prendre des points au Vélodrome en fin de match cette saison. Les Phocéens doivent également gérer leur fragilité, rappelant que leur dernier quart de finale en 2023 s’est soldé par une défaite. Le choc entre Lyon et Lens, deux grands prétendants, se déroulera jeudi. Les deux clubs, respectivement troisième et deuxième de L1, connaissent un léger coup d’arrêt. L’OL, après une série de treize victoires, a subi deux défaites consécutives, tandis que Lens, qui n’a jamais remporté la Coupe de France, a perdu ses trois finales historiques. Les deux équipes cherchent à corriger leur sort et à se qualifier pour la finale. Dans le premier quart de finale, Strasbourg affrontera Reims, le seul représentant des ligues inférieures. Les Alsaciens, en lice pour l’Europe, ont l’occasion de confirmer leur bon état de forme malgré le changement d’entraîneur.#lens #lyon #coupe_de_france #toulouse #marseille
