Something unthinkable until recently, the departure of Alexandre Lacazette this summer is taking shape. The clash against PSG could be the last match in the Lyon jersey for the General.
Ahead of this Saturday’s match between OL and PSG, the news around the Rhone club has revolved a lot around the presence or not of Anthony Lopes in the goals. It will ultimately be Brazilian goalkeeper Lucas Perri. There was also talk of the possible transfer at the end of the season of Rayan Cherki, which seems to be taking shape with many ambiguous messages on this subject on the networks. But this gala match, but also a possible title match, against Paris, could well be the last in the OL jersey for Alexandre Lacazette.
Lacazette will decide in June!
The club’s top scorer over the last two years, the pure product striker Tola Vologe, has one year left on his contract. But with his thunderous return to OL, he has already generated a lot of interest recently, rejecting offers from Saudi Arabia last summer. During the next transfer window, the music could be different as L’Equipe reveals that, for the first time, Lacazette has opened the door to a departure. Teams from the Saudi Pro League once again, but also from the American MLS championship, are making eye contact with him with significant contracts in terms of salary, and also a radical change in the living environment.
Despite the recent birth of his child and the fact that he himself is a child of Lyon, the “General” decided to look at these offers, and therefore to consider them. OL will not, a priori, oppose a profitable departure of a major player who is necessarily unsellable in the future. Proof that everything could fall into place in the coming weeks, and that this meeting against PSG represents a possible farewell to OL for Lacazette. What the supporters don’t really dare to believe, when the former Arsenal striker is by far the most decisive player of the Rhone team over the last two years. But we will have to expect anything during this transfer window, especially if Lacazette confirms that he is paying close attention to interests outside Europe.
In the meantime, he had the floor this Friday at a press conference, and he unsurprisingly kicked in. “ This will be my last match of the season. For OL, I don’t know. This is not the time, nor the place. We will have plenty of time in June to decide », Delivered the Lyon captain, who is focusing on the captivating meeting this Saturday evening.
