Funny timing. While his lifelong club (or almost) is at the gates of Ligue 2, that John Textor left the ship when nothing seemed to indicate it, Alexandre Lacazette will also turn the Olympic Lyonnais page this summer.
OL captain, French Olympic vice-champion last summer, 34, will take advantage of this summer transfer window to take up a new challenge. He who only knew Ligue 1 and the English Premier League during his rich career is about to raise a much more exotic challenge.
From the cradle of heritage in Lyon to the frontier of the future at NEOM S.C. 🌟

General Lacazette in Saudi Arabia until 2027
Very quickly, after many rumors, each more eccentric than the other, the future destination of Alexandre Lacazette was no longer a shadow of a doubt. As expected, the general has just officially signed a 2 -year contract, until 2027, with the Neom SC.
In Saudi Arabia, Lacazette will inevitably find his former teammate Saïd Benrahma, but also, perhaps, his compatriot Christophe Galtier, the latter being expected to take place on the bench. Sacred Challenge in perspective for this trio.
Pure northern northern strain, which prefers a good national match with USBCO to the rivalry between RC Lens and LOSC. Fan of big atmospheres above all, from ASSE to OM via Strasbourg. To arms!
