Alexandre Lacazette, notably absent from Didier Deschamps’ list for Euro 2024, finds himself at a crossroads in his second stint at OL. With another impressive season under his belt, scoring 17 goals in 28 Ligue 1 matches, the General has caught the attention of suitors, particularly in Saudi Arabia. In the past few hours, Al Shabab has been the most persistent. The Saudi club wants the player and is willing to pay the price.
Alexandre Lacazette in Saudi Arabia, Habib Diallo to OL: The details of the completely crazy exchange proposed by Al Shabab #
According to information from Le Progrès, the Saudi club has proposed a curious exchange to their Rhone counterpart. In addition to a substantial transfer fee, Al Shabab has offered the services of Habib Diallo to sway John Textor’s position, who seems reluctant to let his top scorer leave this summer. One year after deciding to leave RC Strasbourg to embark on the lucrative adventure of Saudi Arabia, the Senegalese striker could make a return to Ligue 1, the league where he truly made a name for himself, first with FC Metz and then with RCSA. During his last season in Alsace, Diallo scored 20 goals in 37 matches. A record that could convince the Lyon leadership of the relevance of this deal? Only time will tell.
