The transfer of Facundo Valentin Buonanotte from Brighton to Lyon has collapsed, according to multiple reliable sources. The midfielder was thought to be close to a move, but both clubs have now stepped away. It potentially marks the end of a saga that had seemed likely to result in a done deal just a few days ago. This move is off for now, though speculation continues around Facundo Valentin Buonanotte, who has also been linked with Chelsea, Leverkusen and Leeds. So far this season, Lyon are steady at both ends (1.29 goals scored per game, 0.71 goals conceded per game). The role for Facundo Valentin Buonanotte would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. Speculation continues to connect Lyon with Mehdi Taremi, Hamed Junior Traore and Timo Werner while no fresh rumours surround Brighton. Need more Lyon transfer rumours?
