Two statements have occupied the mercato section of the Lyon news in recent days. First there was this interview with Maxence Caqueret given to Canal+ Sunday, in which the interested party cast doubt on his future, explaining that he was not sure of still being at OL next season. Then that of Maxime Gonalons, granted Monday evening to beIN Sports, with a foot call to his training club, which he had left in 2017 to join AS Roma.
“A return to OL? My name comes up quite often during the transfer window, there have been discussions. If I have the happiness of finishing in the club of my heart, that would be the best thing,” admitted the current Granada midfielder, at the end of his contract in June 2023. During a telephone press conference organized on Tuesday – especially to discuss the half-year results of the Rhone club, Jean-Michel Aulas was inevitably questioned on these two topics.

Caqueret? It won’t happen at any cost
“It will not happen at any price or at any pricefirst warned the Lyon president regarding Caqueret, in remarks relayed in particular by Tonic Radio and Olympique and Lyonnais. We absolutely want him to stay. It represents the emblem of the triumphant youth and of the Lyon academy. We’ll make sure to talk to him. Just because he says there’s no certainty doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to stay. I think that deep down he wants to continue with his training club. I have already met him personally on this subject. We are currently in the midst of negotiations.”
“It’s as much Mbappé’s victory as that of Pochettino”
About Gonalons, “JMA” was very transparent: a rapprochement has already taken place. “We contacted him during the winter breakhe explained. Personally, I am open to a return even if it is not me who makes the final decision. Bruno Cheyrou (the Director of the recruitment unit) has already contacted him”. The 32-year-old had announced, a few years ago, his “sadness” concerning the way in which he had left his training club, on bad terms with Jean-Michel Aulas. Since then, water has flowed under the bridges.
Finally, a word on Tanguy Ndombele, whose purchase option amounts to 65 million euros. “We have to let a few games pass, this is only the beginning. But if we win the Europa League, everything will be possible (…) I am very happy that he came back, with Bruno Cheyrou and Vincent Ponsot at the helm, because we had to discuss with the president of Tottenham who had bought him very Dear. He participated in the commitment to return by investing himself personally“, confided the boss of Gones.
