John Textor had recently complained about the approaches of Saudi clubs for Alexandre Lacazette. The departure of the second top scorer in Ligue 1 seemed impossible, but this Monday evening a huge sensation is looming in Lyon.
” If Manchester United made a fabulous offer for Lacazette? I don’t wanna sell it, it’s not going anywhere », « The Saudis want it all. They want my best player at Lyon, my best player at Crystal Palace, the best players and my coach at Botafogo. Their strategy is to buy everything. We will see what will happen in the world of football “. Listening to his latest statements, John Textor did not seem inclined to the idea of selling Alexandre Lacazette during this transfer window, aware that the French striker had enormous importance in his locker room and in the good results of his team.
But, two years from the end of his contract, the one who is nicknamed The general could however leave Olympique Lyonnais and join the Saudi Pro League very quickly. A few days ago, Sports Zone had revealed contacts between a Saudi club and Alexandre Lacazette, but this Monday it is the Egyptian journalist Ahmed Ragab who confirms that the Al-Shabab team wants to bring in the dolphin of Kylian Mbappé in the Ligue 1 scorer rankings. This could be done very quickly, since a decision is expected in the next few days or at the latest next week.

In the meantime, Alexandre Lacazette is in the Netherlands with his teammates for the preparation stage led by Laurent Blanc.
