Will the striker, who will turn 33 on Tuesday, be offered a contract extension by his managers?
Saturday evening, Alexandre Lacazette perhaps played his last match in the colors of Olympique Lyonnais, on the occasion of the French Cup final won by Paris Saint-Germain. Indeed, his contract with the Rhone club ends at the end of June.
After the defeat (2-1) against Luis Enrique’s men, the striker burst into tears. A few moments later, he was questioned in the mixed zone about his future. “That’s really not the point. I’ll wait a few days to concentrate. There is no ‘I’m leaving or I want to stay’. I was thinking about the final. I’m going to take a few days to think about all of this.”explained the player who will celebrate his 33rd birthday next Tuesday.
Lacazette, the suspense remains
Before the final, Lacazette had already been very evasive about it. “It will be my last match of the season (the Coupe de France final). For OL, I don’t know. This is not the time, nor the place. We will have plenty of time in June to decide,” he declared at a press conference.
The Rhone number 10 will have had a very good 2023-2024 financial year. Author of 19 goals in Ligue 1, he finished in second place in the French championship scorer rankings, only ahead of Kylian Mbappé. Unfortunately, this was not enough for Didier Deschamps to call him up for Euro 2024.
