The transfer window is merciless at Olympique Lyonnais. In a matter of months, a player can go from indispensable to unwanted. This is what Maxence Caqueret experienced, whose downgrade proved spectacular over the course of the season, he who had been important during the recovery of the team in 2023-2024. While he could have left the club last summer and a club like Bayer Leverkusen had tested the waters, he ultimately remained with his training club.
But he gradually lost his place, the Matic-Tolisso tandem ultimately being favored by coach Pierre Sage. From then on, the midfielder born in 2000 entered the category of players on the transfer list, since OL needed to sell on the market, to clean up finances and loosen the grip of the DNCG.
An attractive salary and the arguments of Cesc Fabregas
Failing to have been able to help his team on the field in recent weeks, he could well give a big helping hand to his club’s finances, since, according to information from The TeamOL reached an agreement with Como for the transfer of their 24-year-old midfielder, for €17 million (bonus included). A very nice sum for a player who was no longer part of Pierre Sage’s plans. What we can confirm to you is that the agreement reached is well below €20 million including bonus. According to our information, the Frenchman, as well as those close to him, were able to speak with coach Cesc Fabregas, who was very convincing, and the salary offered is also attractive.
Sources close to the Italian club tell us of a salary between 300,000 and 350,000 net per month. Which seems difficult to refuse for Caqueret, who will have to make his choice. Club promoted to Serie A, Como can rely on solid shareholders and a viable project. He doubled Lens on the goalkeeper Jean Butez, tried Marcus Rashford and even allowed himself the luxury of attracting Dele Alli in the hope of reviving him. Currently 16th in Serie A, Como chose Caqueret to strengthen its midfield and aim to maintain its position.
