Afonso Bastardo Moreira for 32 million euros: Leverkusen discover Lyon's talent
Afonso Bastardo Moreira, Lyon's young talent, could move to Bayer Leverkusen for 32 million euros in an attempt to meet significant financial needs for the French club.
Lyon's big star this season, Afonso Bastardo Moreira (yes, that's actually his name) could be leaving the Lyon club for Bayer Leverkusen in Germany. The possible amount of this transfer is said to be 32 million euros. According to French newspaper L'Equipe, Leverkusen have already presented the offer to Lyon. This is a time when Lyon needs to raise a large amount of money as per the financial agreement made with UEFA. If this transfer is completed, Afonso Moreira will leave Lyon just one year after he was bought for just 2 million euros. Now, a year later, his price has risen to 30 million euros, but Lyon will not get all of it, as Sporting Lisbon will get a 20% share. If the transfer is completed for 32 million euros, Sporting will receive another 6 million euros, which will be added to the 2 million euros they already received.
