This Wednesday, Jean-Michel Aulas sealed the deal of Jeff-Reine Adelaide in exchange for 25 million euros plus another 2.5 in variables, from Angers. The talented French footballer forged in the lower categories of Arsenal was chosen by the sports director to replace Nabil Fekir, already in Benito Villamarín.
With Jeff-Reine Adelaide, Olympique, this summer, have made three of four of the most important signings in its history.In addition to the Jeff-Reine Adelaide, Joachim Andersen arrived for 24 euros from Sampdoria and Thiago Mendes did the same for Lille by 22.
The midfielder could be set to make his debut against Angers in Lyon, the next rival in Ligue 1. However, the Frenchman already knows what it is to score in this 2019-20 championship, because he took advantage of the last day in his former team and said goodbye with a goal and an assist on the first day of the tournament.
This is new for Sylvinho, who started on the bench with an overwhelming victory over Monaco. The Brazilian coach hopes to shape the great work done by Juninho Pernambucano this summer and talk about a PSG tormented by the future uncertainty of Neymar.
