Anthony Lopes, who is in the OL loft, is being courted abroad and could find a way out in Portugal.
The story between Olympique Lyonnais and Anthony Lopes will have a tense ending. He trained at the club since his teens, then valiantly held the Gonz cage for a decade, before Lucas Perry recently pushed him to the bench. Then he was shown the exit door.
Benfica save soldier Anthony Lopes?
Despite his stature, the experienced goalkeeper has been placed in an unwanted upper role. He must therefore definitely find a new club to avoid spending the season in the stands, with Lyon already investing in a second goalkeeper. Several clubs have enquired, notably Racing Club de Strasbourg, but none of them wanted to go any further, due to the gatekeeper fees.
Recently, it was Benfica Lisbon who showed interest. The Portuguese club wants to find a replacement for Ukrainian Anatoliy Trubin. But here again, the salary question poses a problem. Therefore, the Portuguese international is still at a dead end, and he will have to negotiate with the Lisbon team to find a solution. Otherwise, the season could be long.
