OL are going through a very serious financial crisis and will have to sell this winter, otherwise they will administratively drop to Ligue 2 at the end of the season. Alexandre Lacazette could leave the Lyon ship to help his training club.
In Lyon, the situation is vague, very vague… It is indeed difficult to know what squad Pierre Sage will have available at the end of the next winter transfer market. OL will absolutely have to sell in order to reduce their finances and have a chance of remaining in Ligue 1 at the end of the season. Rayan Cherki, Malick Fofana, Maxence Caqueret, Ernest Nuamah, Gift Orban and Alexandre Lacazette are candidates for departure. The latter was notably announced in recent hours at… Real Madrid!
Lacazette to Real Madrid, a simple rumor
Indeed, Transfers announced that the Merengue club was ready to help OL by recruiting the former Arsenal player and thus strengthen their attack. Information denied by Central Defensewho affirms that Lacazette is not at all part of the plans of Real Madrid, who has full confidence in Kylian Mbappé and Endrick to evolve into the number 9 position. The media also adds that if Real Madrid took action this winter, it would be above all to recruit in central defense. At 33, Lacazette will therefore not head to the Spanish capital to play for the Merengue. However, a departure cannot be ruled out. Saudi Arabia loves his profile and has contacted him in the past. This season with OL, Alexandre Lacazette has scored 5 goals and delivered 1 assist in 14 matches played in all competitions. He gleans 6 million euros per year in Lyon, which inevitably weighs on the accounts at a time when Les Gones must reassure the DNCG about their financial health.
