Football / Ligue 1. OL: Anthony Lopes with his training club until 2025

It won't take too long this time. Three years ago, negotiations regarding the extension of Anthony Lopes’ contract were long and bitter. President Aulas had to make public statements to get things under control. After a successful season, all parts of the club praised the Lyon goalkeeper and he quickly added two years to his contract. It was due to expire on June 30, 2023. It was enough to convince him to remain with the club until 2026.

Last summer was more exciting than usual for the Portuguese substitute goalkeeper. Peter Bosz's arrival on the Olympian bench was met with a desire to find Andre Onana, Ajax goalkeeper. Despite major financial difficulties from OL, the Cameroonian-trained at Barca decided to sign his contract.

This was a major boost for Lopes (419 matches at the Olympian club), who was confronted by a new staff that had specific expectations of him. as guardian.

His club released a press release welcoming the extension. It said that "after Remy Riou's return and successive extensions of Castello Luka, Bradley Barcola, Maxence Caqueret, and Castello Lukeba, OL are thrilled to be able continue the adventure with Anthony Lopes. OL also congratulates its attachment to its players trained at club, eagerly carrying the Lyon project loudly."

With the return of Alexandre Lacazette to the club, this Lyonnais DNA might be strengthened.
