Announced leaving Tottenham this summer, Hugo Lloris did not find a buyer at the close of the market. And yet…
Barred by Guglielmo Vicario, poached by Spurs from Empoli this summer, Hugo Lloris, one year from the end of his contract, had made up his mind: his future was bound to be far from London. At 36, the interested party is indeed not decided to hang up the gloves but the tracks have not necessarily been those expected for a doorman of his experience.
Approached by Saudi Arabia, of course, the former Blues captain politely declined, keen to continue his career in Europe and remain competitive there. Exit and the proposals to make his person a stand-in, like the challenge offered late by Newcastle this Friday – Magpies who saw in Lloris the possible second to Nick Pope.

Again, the former Lyonnais declined the offer, seeming in fact intended to honor his last year of lease at Tottenham. This was without counting, however, the approach of OGC Nice, rid of Kasper Schmeichel in recent hours and open to healthy competition between the former pillar of the France team and Marcin Bulka. According to Sky Sports, the Spurs would have authorized Hugo Lloris to discuss with his training club in the evening. A free arrival is mentioned.
