According to Le Progrès, OL are thinking of parting ways with their two strikers Alexandre Lacazette and Corentin Tolisso in the winter transfer window. But the two players don’t see it that way.
At the bottom of Ligue 1, Olympique Lyonnais is looking for all the answers to get out of the crisis. Fabio Grosso tries a new formula almost every time. And the OL coach does not hesitate to take the strikers out of his dressing room if he deems it necessary. Alexandre Lacazette, for example, was left out against Stade Rennais before being reinstated as a starter against Lille. . . and being substituted at half-time by his coach. Corentin Tolisso is also not an undisputed starter in Fabio Grosso’s brain, who is unlikely to oppose the departures of Lyon’s two key players in the winter transfer window.
According to Le Progrès, John Textor is seriously thinking about promoting Alexandre Lacazette and Corentin Tolisso to save their XXL salaries in case of donations from Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, or other countries. But according to Jeunes Footeux, the former Bayern Munich and Arsenal players don’t see it that way. In fact, the media indicate that Tolisso and Lacazette are not at all in a position to leave a club in which their monetary scenario is right with a long-term contract signed at the time when Jean-Michel Aulas is still the boss of the Rhône club.
Trained at the club, Lacazette and Tolisso also have a bit of self-esteem and need to stay to help OL get out of the red zone and avoid relegation to Ligue 2. After the departures of Lukeba and Barcola and GustoArray, Olympique Lyonnais will sell other players. Did you train at the club with Lacazette and Tolisso? It will take a huge stroke of genius from John Textor to pull this off. But there is no doubt that if Saudi Arabia arrives at the OL with a full wallet to talk to either of the two players in question, anything will be possible. Recall that during the last summer transfer window, groups of the Saudi championship approached Alexandre Lacazette, without managing to win the bet.
