LIGUE 1 2024/2025 – According to L'Équipe, Anthony Lopes will not complete his contract with Lyon to take charge of Nantes during the winter transfer window.
A page has turned this season at Olympique Lyonnais. Emblematic goalkeeper of the club from the capital of Gaul, Anthony Lopes lost his starting place to Lucas Perry. The Portuguese international has still not set foot on the pitch this season, and speculation was rife about his future.
Nantes to relaunch Anthony Lopes
It must be said that Lopes is one of the highest salaries in the Lyon squad (6th with €350,000 per month, source Transfermarket). And since OL's financial situation is known to be anything but rosy, a departure seemed inevitable. Obviously, the Portuguese will stay in Ligue 1, since according to L'Équipe, it is in Nantes that he should settle down.
The FCNA is in difficulty this season, stagnating around the red zone after a successful start to the season. The need for veterans is real, and Anthony Lopes would fulfill this role without difficulty. The team is talking about a six-month contract with the possibility of extension. It remains to be seen the financial terms, but Lyon, which had made no secret of its desire to part with it, should not complicate things. At 34, a new adventure awaits Anthony Lopes.
