After a period of three weeks of inactivity, the mercato returned to the forefront for Olympique Lyonnais. The retention in Ligue 1, formalized on Wednesday, has relaunched OL’s recruitment efforts, which seek to strengthen its workforce, already weakened by the absences of Alexandre Lacazette and Rayaan Cherkide. Particular attention has been paid to Nicolas Tagliafico, a free Argentine defender since 1 July. Although he took advantage of his vacation to reflect on his future, the player did not exclude a return to Lyon, even with a reduction in salary, given the financial situation of the club.

Olympique Lyonnais has wanted to extend Nicolas Tagliafico’s contract for several months, as Olympic and Lyonnais reported, but negotiations have not been successful. The lack of qualification for the Champions League would have contributed to the interruption of these discussions. Despite this, Tagliafico did not reject the idea of staying in Lyon, thus demonstrating his commitment to the club and his willingness to continue to seduce supporters through his commitment.

OL’s lack of official tribute to Tagliafico after three seasons at the club was strongly criticized by Lyon fans, fueling the hope of a return. Several European clubs, such as Everton and AS Roma, have recently shown interest in the player, although these discussions are not yet advanced. A new strong sign from OL, in the form of a concrete offer, could be decisive in convincing Tagliafico to return to the Lions capital.
