Olympique Lyonnais could see the departure of a major player from its squad this winter.
If Olympique Lyonnais raised the bar before the winter break, the Rhone club remains fully committed to the fight to maintain this season. With this in mind, this winter transfer window looks like a turning point that the new strong men of the club will have to negotiate well to ensure a more peaceful second half of the season.
OL must decide on an XXL case
One file is at the center of all attention: Alexandre Lacazette. Aged 32, the French international does not represent the future of the club. His down periods over the last 6 months, coupled with a sometimes sulky attitude, have not really strengthened his status.
However, Lacazette remains OL’s most clinical weapon since the striker is their top scorer, with 7 goals. His last exercise, where he followed Kylian Mbappé, also demonstrates his ability to perform well in a more favorable context. The excellent relationship between the player and coach Pierre Sage goes in this direction.
Despite these positive signals, the prospect of Alexandre Lacazette leaving Olympique Lyonnais this winter cannot be ruled out. According to information from Fotomaç, the OL goalkeeper would be in the sights of Galatasaray, who have even started negotiations with the Rhone club with a view to a transaction in the days to come. Lacazette is under contract with OL until 2025. His market value is estimated at 10 million euros.
