Earlier on Monday, we relayed the news from France that Lyon were on the verge of signing Jason Denayer from Manchester City, but the details were very slim.
There was no indication as to what the transfer entailed, and how long the Belgian defender would end up staying in Ligue 1.
Well, Het Laatste Nieuws have taken care of that, explaining in their live blog that the Manchester City centre-back will be leaving the Etihad permanently, agreeing a four-year deal with Lyon in the process.
Bought from JMG Lier in 2013 by the Premier League champions, the now 23-year-old never made an competitive appearance for the Cityzens, spending a lot of his time on loan at clubs like Celtic, as well as Sunderland in between two temporary spells with Galatasaray.
Het Laatste Nieuws claim ‘only a few details’ need to be clarified between the club before the transfer of Jason Denayer to Lyon is made official.
As reported by L’Equipe on Monday morning, the player is already in France, and has already trained with his new teammates.
