The Brazilian told L'Equipe: "Dembele won't move. The window is closed! Okay?"Lyon has already lost one key attacker during the close season, captain Nabil Fekir having moved to Real Betis, and it could be tempted to dip back into the transfer market."It's a possibility," Sylvinho said. "We could also recruit another defender. We'll see. It's not an easy thing to replace Nabil, an important player with extraordinary technical quality. We need to see whether someone can really help. It's a matter of opportunity." Subscribe to our daily newsletter Get your daily dose of Sportstar with handpicked stories delivered right to your inbox! SUBSCRIBE Please enter a valid email address.
