At the end of the contract at Arsenal, Alexandre Lacazette does not close the door to a possible return to Olympique Lyonnais.
The rumor in recent weeks announces a return of Alexandre Lacazette to Lyon. At the end of his contract next June with Arsenal, the 30-year-old striker (25 games and 4 goals in the Premier League this season) admitted contacts with his training club during an interview for Canal + au Canal Football Club : « I am in discussions with many clubs, I am open. I have never cut contact with Lyon since I left. I try to go back to the club once or twice a year to see the medical staff, because we are really close. So, yes, now that OL know I’m free, they came to the news ». «In our context, it is more accessible than (Karim) Benzema. We have to try to see if we can do it as a free player, but we won’t be alone“, had warned Jean-Michel Aulas, the strong man of OL in February. Transferred to Arsenal in 2017 for more than €50 million, Lacazette had scored 129 goals in 275 matches with his training club.
The scorer Gunnar warns, however: “Without European Cup? It’s a bit more complicated. I want to play in Europe, it’s also been a long time since I played in the Champions League and I miss it. Afterwards, nothing is impossible in life, but it’s a little more complicated “And Lacazette in Lyon, it is far from won. OL, which crushed Bordeaux (6-1) on Sunday, only occupies the 8e Ligue 1 spot with 49 points. Seven points behind Rennes, the current 3e. The Rhodaniens have six days left to complete the perfect end to the championship and grab a very hypothetical podium. While waiting to sign a possible return, Lacazette confided about the generation of Gones who succeeded him: “I know that there is quality coming with Lukeba, Caqueret, Cherki who are doing a job or Gusto. It’s great, but we’ll see for the future..
