Still waiting for a new club, Hugo Lloris explains that he refused the possibility of making his comeback to OGC Nice, his training club. The leaders of the Aiglons, they deny any interest in the captain of the 2018 world champions.
Hugo Lloris’ summer did not go as planned. At 36, the former captain of the France team agreed at the end of last season to leave Tottenham. Since then, he has been announced in Saudi Arabia, but also at PSG and Real Madrid. He also negotiated with Lazio (despite an excellent goalkeeper in place, Ivan Provedel), to finally refuse to be number 2. Finally, a return to OGC Nice, his training club, was mentioned during the last hours of the transfer window.
In Nice morningon Saturday, the 2018 world champion said an agent called him ” one hour before the end of the transfer window for a possible signing at the Gym. He refused: “ the prospects for the game and the sports project (…) are not clearly addressed. The supporters, the team and the season that has begun deserve better than a cookie-cutter decision on a phone call without expectation or a clear project one hour before the end of the transfer window. At a time when I don’t expect this “.
The management of the Nice club clarified the situation in the Sunday edition of the regional newspaper. ” It was an agent maneuver that made this whole story soar when at the club, we had never considered the possibility of bringing in Hugo Lloris as number 2 out of respect for his sporting status, but at the also with regard to the financial conditions that OGC Nice could offer to this position. There were no negotiations between the parties, so Hugo could not refuse OGC Nice “Explained sports director Florent Ghisolfi.
After three months without a convincing offer, Lloris is still under contract with Spurs, where Italian rookie Guglielmo Vicario (26) fully participated in the good start to the Premier League for Ange Postecoglou’s team (3 wins and a draw). for a 2nd place in the standings). Lloris can still transfer to many secondary leagues like Saudi Arabia and even terminate his contract and sign as a free agent in Ligue 1.
