It was expected since the end of the season, it is now official: Delphine Cascarino is leaving Olympique Lyonnais. Star striker of the Rhone club, the French international will begin a new chapter in her career. She should make the big jump to take on the American challenge in San Diego.
OL announced Cascarino’s departure in a video where we can see the striker explaining her decision.
“It was a very difficult choice to leave Olympique Lyonnais, I’ve been at OL for 15 years now, I want to have other experiences abroad.”
Cascarino, a pride of the Lyon academy
Delphine Cascarino leaves Olympique Lyonnais with a heavy heart, as she recalled in this farewell video.“If I had to keep a memory, I would say our 5th victory in a row in the Champions League, it will always remain engraved in my heart.”
A pure Lyonnaise, Delphine Cascarino, originally from Saint-Priest in the Rhône-Alpes region, will remain one of the greatest talents to emerge from the Lyon academy for the club’s women’s section. At 27 years old, the striker had only known OL in her career.
