The transfer saga involving Bafétimbi Gomis has taken a new turn, with Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas filing a complaint against Olympique de Marseille. Aulas has contacted the Legal Commission of the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) to report a possible violation of league regulations.
Aulas alleges that during the negotiations between Bafétimbi Gomis and Newcastle, Olympique de Marseille intervened by contacting the player and his agents without informing Lyon. The Lyon president contends that if the negotiations with Newcastle were to fail, it would be Marseille’s fault.
The LFP is now waiting to hear from both Lyon and Marseille regarding these allegations. This development adds another layer of complexity to the ongoing transfer situation. Newcastle, who have already secured the loan of Loïc Rémy, remains involved in the pursuit of Bafétimbi Gomis, and the outcome of the case may impact the overall transfer dynamics.
