La Liga
José Bordalás is clear: he wants to strengthen the midfield with guarantees for the upcoming season. The Getafe coach has requested three specific signings from the board to reinforce an area he considers key in his game plan. The names are Yvan Neyou, Javi Muñoz, and Paul Akouokou. And the Azulones club has already taken the first firm step with the latter.
As reported by the specialized outlet 'Africa Foot', Getafe has already made a formal proposal to Olympique de Lyon to secure the services of the Ivorian international. The offer, valued at 800,000 euros, has been rejected by the French club, which demands at least one million to release the former Betis player. However, discussions are ongoing, and there is still room to reach an agreement as the market will not officially open until July 1st.
The first offer for Akouokou has been rejected
Akouokou, 27, arrived in Spain seven seasons ago with Real Betis but has not managed to establish himself in Lyon since moving to Ligue 1. Now, his potential return to LaLiga would be influenced by the interest from Getafe and the club's internal movements.
In addition to this potential signing, Neyou and Javi Muñoz are close to finalizing their arrival at Coliseum. All signs point to possible departures in the midfield if these three operations are ultimately completed. Luis Milla and Mauro Arambarri are on alert.
