Lacazette Contract Renewal with Lyon - Smoothly Approaching 3-Year Deal

The saga of the French striker's contract extension at Lyon has reached a new level of complexity, as the club prepares to enter into a three-year deal that will see him stay for another two seasons.

Lacazette, who joined Lyon from Monaco in 2016, has been a key player for the team since he arrived, scoring more than 150 goals over his time at the club and earning himself a place in the national team squad.

However, the club is facing a significant challenge in finding a replacement for the 28-year-old forward, who was last season's top scorer and has already earned several offers from other clubs around Europe.

Despite this setback, Lyon remain hopeful of finding a solution and have made some moves in recent weeks to try and secure their prized possession.

One possibility is that they could offer Lacazette a one-year extension, which would give him the opportunity to test the market and potentially sign elsewhere if the deal does not materialize.

Another option is that they could negotiate a shorter term deal with the option to extend it after two years, allowing them to retain Lacazette without having to pay out the full amount of his contract.

Whatever the outcome, it remains to be seen whether Lyon can find a way to keep Lacazette at the club for the foreseeable future, given the challenges he faces in the transfer market.
