Lyon bring Mammana to Europe
Posted Friday, July 08, 2016 by foxsportsasia.com
Lyon have confirmed the signing of highly-rated defender Emmanuel Mammana on a five-year deal from Argentine giants River Plate.
The 20-year-old centre-back arrives at Parc Olympique Lyonnais for a fee of €7.5 million after an impressive start to his fledgling career with Los Millonarios.
Mammana actually made his international debut before turning out for his club at senior level, coming on as a substitute for Javier Mascherano in a 2-0 win over Slovenia in June 2014, at the age of 18.
The youngster has already won all the major club competitions in South America, lifting the Copa Sudamericana in 2014 and the Copa Libertadores the following year, along with the Recopa Sudamericana.
Mammana becomes the third new recruit for Les Gones boss Bruno Genesio during the current transfer window following the recent arrivals of Nicolas Nkoulou and Maciej Rybus.
