Olivier has moved out on-loan to the French side with a pre-agreed fee to buy in the summer. We have no idea if it’s an obligation or an option.
It’s not exactly the best welcome for the midfielder as he turns up at his new club.
Oli was out of the picture at Celtic before the transfer to France and had made 14 appearances this term. It looks as if he’s got his work cut out for him.
AVB said in his press conference as cited by PLZ Soccer: ‘I had nothing to do with the decision to recruit Olivier Ntcham. He is precisely a player for whom I said no. I didn’t know he was coming’
