French club Lyon has accused West Ham United of demonstrating a 'profound lack of respect' after the proposed transfer of Algerian international Saïd Benrahma collapsed. The Premier League side allegedly failed to carry out the necessary steps on FIFA's transfer matching system, preventing the deal from going through before the end of the January transfer window.
In a statement, Lyon expressed their frustration, stating, 'Following this incomprehensible behavior... the international transfer certificate could not be requested before closing time.' The club deeply regrets the situation and perceives it as a lack of respect towards both the institution and the player.
