Paul Akouokou, a 27-year-old Ivorian midfielder, is currently with Lyon but has had limited playing time this season, appearing in only 5 matches. Getafe has expressed interest in bringing him back to LaLiga, where he formerly played for Real Betis, and has proposed an offer of 800,000 EUR. Nonetheless, Lyon regards this offer as inadequate, estimating the player's value at 1,000,000 EUR. Despite Lyon's initial rejection, discussions may continue in the upcoming days for Paul to conclude his period in France and return to LaLiga. If Getafe succeeds in securing his transfer, it will enhance the depth of a position that their coach, Bordalás, has been aiming to strengthen following his request for reinforcements last season.
