It promises to be an emotional night in the Groupama Stadium on Saturday evening, while Olympique Lyonnais said goodbye to Captain and Academy Product Alexandre Lacazette (33) for the second time. As confirmed by Paulo Fonseca, the former Arsenal Forward will leave the club after the end of the season expired.
Another Academy product can also be on its way – Rayan Cherki (21). It is even likely that the playmaker will leave Lyon in the summer. The financial problems of the club are well documented and Cherki will not be missing lovers who are willing to pay the reimbursement that is needed to acquire its services. According to Le Parisien, OL can only earn € 22.5 million from the sale of the France Youth International; That release clause was agreed when the player signed a one-year contract extension in September and made sure that he would not leave for free this summer.
According to Le Parisien, Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur have all asked the attacker. Cherki spoke on Thursday – predictable – gave little away when he pressed his future. “I don't know if it will be my last game (for Lyon, against SCO Angers on Saturday). I know I have given everything for my club, that I have done everything for OL, because it is a club that I will never forget and that will be in my heart forever.
