Entering the last year of his contract at Olympique Lyonnais, Nicolas Tagliafico is not about to extend. The left back is heading towards a free departure next summer, he who remains in the sights of Betis Sevilla in Spain.
Unlike Rayan Cherki, on whom management imposed an extension under penalty of remaining on the sidelines, Nicolas Tagliafico was not worried despite the prospect of a free departure next summer. The left back of Olympique Lyonnais has always been part of the plans. This season, the 32-year-old Argentinian must certainly deal with competition from Abner Vinicius. But in its edition this Friday, the regional daily Le Progrès indicates that the 2022 world champion maintains the advantage over the Brazilian.
Betis does not let go of Tagliafico
Suffice to say that the Rhone club would be delighted to extend his contract and keep it. This is still not the trend mentioned in Spain where the media Estadio Deportivo does not see a rapprochement between the two parties. At present, Nicolas Tagliafico would be very far from an extension. An ideal location for Betis Sevilla. During the last transfer windows, the Andalusian club tried its luck several times without ever reaching an agreement with Olympique Lyonnais.
If the situation does not change, the La Liga resident will only have to convince the former Ajax Amsterdam player whose real intentions are still unknown. “ I know that I am at the end of my contract next June, but I am focused on giving the best of myself so that OL achieves its objectivesreplied the Gone this week. And in June, we'll see. I am more focused on the present than the future. We want to put OL back in the Champions League, that's the team's common objective. » Thus, Nicolas Tagliafico could leave Lyon through the front door.
