Hupu, August 8th, Brazilian Global once again exposed the fake account transactions of Lyon's former boss John Tuctor.

The American businessman completed a "false transfer" in March to acquire the economic rights of Botafogo winger Jefferson Savarino. There seems to be a new dispute between Lyon and Bottafogo. In recent days, a real battle broke out between the two clubs.

John Tuctor was once the owner of both clubs and was forced to leave because the French club had difficulties in passing DNCG to stay in the Ligue 1.

Although Michelle Conn replaced the American businessman and now takes charge of Lyon, Tuctor has since asked Lyon for nearly 65 million euros. According to the Eagles football boss, several transfers have had an impact on Botavgo.

In fact, after Tector took over Lyon, he not only frequently transferred players between Bottafogo and Lyon, but also traded with other clubs such as Nottingham Forest and Russia Zenit.

Although Lyon was banned from signing players by DNCG during the last winter transfer window, Thiago Almada still joined Lyon on loan from Botavogo.

Afterwards, several Ligue 1 clubs opposed the Argentine midfielder's transfer details, and he later transferred to Atletico Madrid this summer.

It is reported that Lyon has obtained three future economic rights from Botafogo players, with an overall price of 98.5 million euros.

These players include Luis Enrique, who has never played for Lyon. The Brazilian winger moved from Botavgo to Zenit, but the 33 million euro transfer fee ended up falling into the pocket of the NT$1. At present, the identities of the other two players are not clear, and the document has nothing to do with Thiago Almada.
