In nine months almost exactly, that is to say on the evening of June 30, 2025, they will be free on the transfer market. And already in three months, they will be able to negotiate their future elsewhere than with their current club without constraint. For some, like the OM defender, Chancel Mbemba, or the OL goalkeeper, Anthony Lopes, both sidelined by their respective clubs, the mass has already been said. There will be no sequel.
Players already leaving, others in uncertainty
For others it is less certain, most often the decision belongs to the clubs who procrastinate, sometimes the players have their destiny in their hands. General Lacazette at Olympique Lyonnais is an example. LOSC’s Canadian international striker Jonathan David is an even better one. He, a 24-year-old player in the middle of his career, is at the peak of his career, and in his coveted position, he has no shortage of suitors.
OL and Stade Brestois have the majority in this collective
He is also the most bankable of the 11 players who are at the end of their contract at the end of this 2024-2025 season. A collective mainly from Lyon, with three Gones (Nicolás Tagliafico, Anthony Lopes and Alexandre Lacazette), but also from Brest (Mathias Pereira Lage, Kenny Lala and Brendan Chardonnet). Around them are two Lille residents (Jonathan David and Angel Gomes), a Marseillais (Chancel Mbemba), a Lensois (Nampalys Mendy) and a Monegasque (Krépin Diatta).
