Lyon and Alexandre Lacazette have reached an agreement on a new three-year contract that will keep the French striker at the club until June 2024.
The agreement was announced by both parties on Monday, following months of negotiations between the player and the club. The two parties were said to be "in a positive mood" as they worked towards reaching an agreement, with both sides reportedly keen to continue their partnership.
The news comes after Lacazette had been linked with a move away from Lyon in recent weeks, with several clubs reportedly interested in his services. However, Lyon were able to secure the striker's future at the club, with the deal set to see him remain at the Parc OL for the next few years.
"Lyon is pleased to announce that Alexandre Lacazette has signed a new contract with the club," read a statement released by Lyon. "This extension of the striker's contract runs until the summer of 2024."
The news of Lacazette's contract renewal comes as a relief for fans of the club, who have seen the striker make numerous contributions over the past few seasons. With the striker having scored 51 goals in 97 appearances since joining Lyon in 2016, he has become a key player for the club and a fan favourite.
Despite the news of Lacazette's contract renewal, it remains to be seen whether the striker will feature in the upcoming season due to ongoing injury concerns. However, with the player's focus now firmly on securing a long-term future at Lyon, there can be no doubt that the striker will continue to play a crucial role for the club in the coming seasons.
