While Saudi Arabia offered him exorbitant salaries, Alexandre Lacazette should stay at Olympique Lyonnais. The striker would like to play in the Europa League for his favorite club.
Tracked by Gulf stables, Alexandre Lacazette should play a third season in a row under the Lyon colors. According to the sports media The Teamthe center forward of theOL made the choice to stay in his training club. An honorable decision, when we know that the 33-year-old had the opportunity to significantly increase his salary. Indeed, the Saudi teams ofAl Shabab And Al-Qadisiya had issued him contractual offers that were almost impossible to refuse. This decision should delight Rhone supporters, who will be able to admire their “General” compete in the Europa League.
OL number 10 will be absent at the start of the school year
Currently, Alexandre Lacazette is in Clairefontaine to prepare for the Olympic Games. Selected by Thierry Henry to play in the competition, the native of Lyon will however not be able to be present when training resumes with his team. Set for July 5, the return to training of Olympique Lyonnais players will take place without the captain.
Rock Wise will have to adapt, since the old Gunners could play with the Bleuets until August 9, only in the event of a final. Moreover, the second top scorer in Ligue 1 could well set foot on the pitch at Groupama Stadium this summer, because the Décines venue will host a semi-final of the Olympic tournament on August 5. Thus, the striker, second best director of the seven-time French champions (2002-2008), will have the opportunity to make a further mark on OL’s history next season.
