During an interview given to the media CarréAlexandre Lacazette revealed having had contact with OM in 2022. The striker said no, without hesitation, because of his affection for Lyon: “The clubs I could have gone to? Barcelona in 2019, there were discussions, but I don't know if I could have gone. Otherwise Atlético de Madrid, Juve during COVID, PSG under the Laurent Blanc era. When Paris comes, you see the figures and that obviously makes you want to, but I didn't really want to go to another French club, I wanted to discover another championship. There was OM in 2022, when I returned from Arsenal, recalls the 33-year-old striker. Is it surprising to go to Lyon rather than Marseille? For you perhaps (smile). And Marseille? I'm from Lyon so that didn't interest me. How long did it take me to respond? A few seconds »he said.
Aged 33, Alexandre Lacazette has only known two clubs since the start of his career, Lyon and Arsenal. The native of Lyon notably scored 187 goals in 364 appearances with the Rhone team.
