Forced to sell this winter under penalty of being administratively demoted to Ligue 2, Olympique Lyonnais has already downsized by shedding certain big salaries like Anthony Lopes and Maxence Caqueret. Others could follow like Corentin Tolisso and Alexandre Lacazette, but not this summer. On L'Equipe's Tiktok channel, Loïc Tanzi made big revelations about the future of the two players, starting with that of the 2018 world champion, who is arousing envy in Saudi Arabia.
Departures more scheduled this summer for Cherki, Tolisso and Lacazette?
“Tolisso was contacted by Al Shabab in Saudi Arabia. But he asked for a lot of money to go to Saudi Arabia so I think he will stay. Alexandre Lacazette, same. For now, I think he will leave this summer. Tolisso, too, I think he will leave next summer” he said. In other words, the time of the two players in the Rhône seems to count.
Concerning the French international hopefuls, the journalist wants to be a little more cautious and does not rule out a possible winter sale: “I think it's very complicated for Lyon to sell Cherki, Lacazette and Tolisso. There is a small chance that Cherki leaves before the end of the (winter) transfer window but there would still have to be a club arriving with a lot of money. Come on, I'm going to get wet, I think Cherki will also leave next summer at the latest. I think that for all three, there is a real subject over the next few months.“
