The General is back. In the summer of 2022, Les Gones decided to launch a new project based on OL DNA. In addition to the extensions of Maxence Caqueret, Anthony Lopes and Rayan Cherki, the residents of Groupama Stadium also completed the returns of Corentin Tolisso and Alexandre Lacazette, both free after stints at Bayern Munich and Arsenal. And if the midfielder has not always been unanimous since his comeback, the striker has made everyone agree on and off the pitch.
For his first season, the OL captain posted a solid record of 31 goals and 6 assists in 39 matches in all competitions, including 37 as a starter. But during this 2023-24 financial year, he experienced complicated moments like the rest of his team. Less killer, the French attacker was less decisive. But the arrival of Pierre Sage changed the situation and Lacazette (18 goals, 2 assists in 29 matches in all competitions) like OL moved forward.
Lacazette has some serious touches
Everything is going well, especially since the center forward, injured against Brest last Sunday, will be there on Sunday evening during the clash against PSG in Ligue 1 according to RMC Sport. The media also takes the opportunity to take stock of the Lacazette case. A player who would be honored to be called up by Thierry Henry to represent France at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games this summer. A summer which will mark a real turning point in the striker’s second Lyon adventure. At the end of his contract in June 2025, he logically asks himself certain questions about his future, he who has a few records in mind at OL.
But RMC Sport explains that he has serious overseas touches. Major League Soccer is here. The Los Angeles Galaxy are on the case, especially since certain emissaries from the American club went to Lyon a few months ago to test the waters. Lacazette is also popular in Saudi Arabia where two teams are in the running. They also made very attractive financial proposals while offering him a 2-year lease (+1 year optional). Which makes the player who studies these XXL proposals think. Informed, OL, who could part with a big salary, are monitoring this closely and are ready if ever they need to replace their star player.
