Gaëtan Perrin, a leading figure in the AJ Auxerre attack, is about to close a particularly remarkable 2024-2025 season. The attacker, formerly linked to Olympique Lyonnais, demonstrates undeniable efficiency, accumulating eight goals and so many decisive assists that position him among the most successful players in the championship. His current performances surpassed those of the previous season, during which, under the colours of the team playing in Ligue 2, he had made a significant contribution to the team’s success with 17 achievements in 38 matches. This progress reflects a constant evolution and a successful adaptation to its current environment.

Perrin’s contribution is essential to the positive dynamic of AJ Auxerre, which has consolidated its position in the elite thanks to an impressive eight-game series without defeat. His direct involvement in this success, with three goals and four milestones during this period, illustrates his decisive role. Recently, Jubal’s corner kick made it possible to score a decisive goal during the trip to Rennes. Olympique Lyonnais is therefore warned: its former player is at its peak and its fulcruming rise attracts the attention of many clubs, having even received a €5 million offer from the Chicago Fire this winter, which was refused.

However, Perrin’s future remains uncertain, as he himself expressed in a recent interview, referring to his remaining year of contract and the unpredictability of the future. Although the opportunity for an off-Atlantic start can be realized this summer, the 28-year-old is currently focusing on the end of the current season and the upcoming match against his coach club. Born in Lyon and having spent nearly thirteen years in the Lyon Academy, Perrin maintains a strong link with Olympique Lyonnais, recognizing the influence he had on his formation and progress, and hoping to avoid again scoring against his former club during this symbolic meeting.
