Downgraded to Lyon, Anthony Lopes confided that he refused a proposal from a European giant during the summer transfer window.
Pushed towards the exit this summer, Anthony Lopes ultimately stayed in Lyon. But in the capital of Gaul, the Portuguese goalkeeper lost his starting place to Lucas Perri. Worse, he was relegated to fourth position in the goalkeeper hierarchy.
A difficult downgrade to live with for Anthony Lopes, who revealed in the columns of L’Equipe to have refused at the start of the transfer window an offer from Liverpool, who offered him a number 2 position.
“It’s true that I had opportunities very early in the transfer window”
“ Yes, it’s true that I had opportunities very early in the transfer window. Especially one, in a very big European team (Liverpool), revealed the Lusitanian. Honestly, it wasn’t my goal at that time to be No. 2. But if it had happened at the end of the transfer window, perhaps my choice would have been different. »
