Arriving at Olympique Lyonnais in July 2022, Nicolas Tagliafico immediately established himself as an indisputable starter in his left lane. He thus played respectively 34 matches and 25 Ligue 1 matches during his first two seasons in the Rhône.
OL: Tagliafico, an inevitable departure
Having become a world champion with Argentina, he is an experienced player, at the age of 32, and reliable defensively. Which makes him a player appreciated by Rhone supporters. Despite rumors of departure last summer, the former Ajax Amsterdam stayed in the Rhône.
However, OL should not be able to keep him for very long. Nicolas Tagliafico is in fact at the end of his contract at the end of the season and the financial situation of Les Gones makes it difficult to extend his contract. The Argentinian is one of the best paid players in the squad with a gross salary per year estimated at 5.5 million euros, bonus included, according to Capology.
Cruzeiro wants to sign the free Argentinian next summer
Thus, he is one of the executives and locker room managers whose departure from Lyon seems inevitable. His departure could therefore take place this winter in the event of an offer deemed satisfactory or next summer when he is free.
This announced departure will bring happiness to the wife Nicolas Tagliafico, who did not feel at all safe in France. After this revelation, the Argentine side was announced on the shelves of Boca Juniors.
But it is not the only South American club to be interested in the situation of the Argentinian international. According to the Brazilian media, RTI Esporte, the Cruzeiro club is closely monitoring the situation of Nicolas Tagliafico.
Nicolas Tagliafico also has touches in Europe
Already interested in the past in the 32-year-old full-back, the Brazilian team came to the information with the aim of recruiting him free next summer. However, Cruzeiro will surely encounter a financial problem in recruiting the Lyonnais.
His current salary in Rhône is impossible for the Brazilian club to reach or compete with. Cruzeiro could therefore miss out on Nicolas Tagliafico for financial reasons but not only that. The 2022 world champion wants to evolve in an ambitious project and have an important place in it.
Staying in Europe is also a possibility for the Argentine, who has held discussions with Spanish and Italian clubs.
Passionate about sport and from Toulouse, I am of course a supporter of the great TFC, which has more titles than OM and OL combined over the last ten years.
