While Olympique Lyonnais seeks to degrease a still substantial workforce, Lucas Perri (27 years old) could be part of the sacrificed in the summer transfer window. A Ligue 1 club has understood this.
🟥 Rumor
The great laundry continues at OL. While Olympique Lyonnais seeks to degrease, Lucas Perri (27 years old) could be part of the sacrificed to the transfer window and a Ligue 1 club understood this: AS Monaco.
If the Principality's club has already recorded the spectacular arrivals of Eric Dier, Paul Pogba and Ansu Fati, a position remains unanswered: that of goalkeeper. After a 2023-2024 season marked by the irregularity and the halftone performance of Radoslaw Majecki and Philipp Köhn, the need for solidity in the cages is more glaring than ever. In this context, the team believes that Perri would be seen as the rare bird. The Brazilian international goalkeeper of OL, 27 years old and under contract until 2028, ticks many boxes. Large, reassuring in his outings, with a good game at the foot and a real reading of the game, he embodies the profile of an immediately operational doorman, capable of bringing serenity to the Monegasque rear guard.
An opening to OL?
In a context of financial pressure in Lyon, where sales have almost become an obligation, Perri appears as a monetitable element. The Rhodanian club does not seem closed to the idea of a departure, especially if a coherent offer reaches the table. Especially since competition exists: several clubs have already shown their interest. The Brazilian porter was notably associated with Neom (who finally preferred Marcin Bulka), in Leeds United, as well as in Galatasaray, still very active on the South American market.
A frustrating research so far
On the Monegasque side, the slopes have been chained without success. The name of David de Gea had been checked at the top of the list, before the Spaniard extended to La Fiorentina. Approaches have been initiated for Marc-André Ter Stegen, but without follow-up, the requirements of FC Barcelona being too high. The price of Vanja Milinkovic-Savic (Torino) also cooled the ardor of the sports management, and the Djordje Petrovic (Chelsea) file is deemed too expensive for a player still learning the very high level. As for Ugurcan Cakir (Trabzonspor), his profile is monitored but it seems more to correspond to a rescue option. So remains perri, in pole position.
“The FC goal glance”
“Lucas Perri at AS Monaco?” The operation would make sense: OL must sell, the Brazilian is one of the very best guards in Ligue 1 and AS Monaco needs a reassuring goalkeeper. Why not ? »»
