Farewell to ‘his jungle’: Mata leaves Club Brugge for Lyon

The transfer has been in the air for a while. In the end, the thirty-year-old right wing defender signed a three-year contract in Lyon. The transfer involves an amount of five million euros, Lyon confirmed. In addition, Club receives ten percent of any added value in the event of a resale.

197 games for blue-black

Mata has played for Club Brugge since the summer of 2018, which took him away from Sporting Charleroi at the time. In the Belgian highest division he also played for KAS Eupen and Racing Genk, but it was in the Jan Breydel Stadium that Mata experienced his heyday. The eight-time Angolan international, who also has Belgian nationality, played 197 matches for blue-black in five seasons. He became champion three times and won two Supercups.

Return Meunier?

The name of Thomas Meunier has been mentioned for a while as a possible replacement. The 31-year-old Red Devil already played for Club between 2011 and 2016 and can leave Borussia Dortmund, where he still has a contract for one season.
