Left free after the end of his trainee contract, Romain Perret no longer belongs to Olympique Lyonnais. The former Gones reserve striker will now study the offers transmitted by European clubs.
Difficult to say what the workforce of Olympique Lyonnais will look like next season. While waiting to know if the Rhone club will regain its place in the elite after its administrative relegation in Ligue 2, it is clear that the group trained by Paulo Fonseca will be less competitive than the past season. The heavy sanction pronounced by the financial gendarme forces management to push other players towards the exit. After the departure of Rayan Cherki at Manchester City, or that at the end of Alexandre Lacazette's contract, other important elements should follow.
OL releases the n3 scorer
In particular, we must expect the transfer of the winger Malick Fofana, much appreciated by European Cadors, even to the sacrifice of Georges Mikautadze whose name has been very long in recent days. Suffice to say that these losses would greatly weaken the offensive sector. To replace them, Olympique Lyonnais could be tempted to draw from its training center and from its second team, especially in the event of a confirmed descent in Ligue 2. But it is apparently not the plan chosen.

Despite his 9 goals scored in National 3 last season, Romain Perret (20) was not preserved. The top scorer in the reserve was left free after the end of his trainee contract. His performances did not convince leaders to offer him a professional lease. Its future is therefore in one of the stables interested in its services. According to Foot Mercato, Romain Perret has in his hands an offer from Charleroi (Belgium) and leads advanced discussions with the Swiss club Saint-Gall. For their part, the Belgians of Molenbeek have planned to meet the Lyonnais who should leave France.
