Olympique de Lyon took advantage of the situation affecting Ukrainian clubs and ‘fished’ with Shakhtar Donetsk. The French club announced on Thursday the signing until the end of the season of Tete, a Brazilian right-back who could continue playing despite the fact that the league in Ukraine was paralyzed after the outbreak of war.
FIFA allows players from the Ukrainian league to play for another team as the war lasts and this will be the case for Tete, who at the age of 22 will strengthen the OL defense.
Peter Bosz’s Lyon are struggling to reach competition venues in Europe. It is currently in tenth place, eight points behind fourth, Nice, who will enter the Europa League, and six behind fifth, Strasbourg, who will go to the Conference.
“I am very happy to go to Lyon, which is a great team in Europe. I am convinced that I can help the team. I was well received, I am happy and I am willing to give everything,” the footballer said as soon as the his signing.
