Dismissed by Pierre Sage, Anthony Lopes suffered humiliation at OL this season.
Olympique Lyonnais had a convincing first leg this season. After 15 days of Ligue 1, the Rhone club (25 pts) is in 5e time for the winter break. However, if the results are satisfactory for sporting results, this is not entirely the case with regard to the management of certain players like Anthony Lopes, who feels wronged this season.
Anthony Lopes will leave OL through the back door
An indisputable starter at OL for several seasons, Anthony Lopes lost his place this season. The Rhone club has, in fact, installed Lucas Perri, who arrived last winter, as number 1 in goals this season. Worse still, the Portuguese international has fallen behind Rémy Descamps, recruited last summer, in the hierarchy of goalkeepers in Lyon. The message is clear: Olympique Lyonnais no longer wants Anthony Lopes. The club has made this clear by excluding the Lusitanian from the professional squad for several weeks. Emblematic OL goalkeeper with 489 matches played, Anthony Lopes has not appeared in the Rhone group since August 24 and a defeat against Monaco during the second day of Ligue 1 (0-2).
At the top of the transfer list this winter, the Portuguese could leave this winter without a tribute due to his rank and status in the Rhône. A situation deplored by Le Progrès in its columns in recent hours. “The management of Anthony Lopes… Under contract until 2025, Anthony Lopes will leave OL in a few months after a blank season. And perhaps without the tribute that a pure gone who gave so much to his training and heartfelt club would have deserved. The goalkeeper could (should?) have left last summer instead of securing the last year of his lucrative contract, and the club did him no favors, for example by recruiting Descamps as Lucas Perri's replacement. and keeping him away from any competition. An incomprehensible management for several former members of the club, including Grégory Coupet”, wrote the newspaper which decries the treatment reserved for Anthony Lopes this season.
