Argentine Defender Tagliafico Expected to Depart Lyon This Summer

Reports suggest that Nicolás Tagliafico, the 32-year-old Argentine defender, is set to leave Olympique Lyonnais when his contract expires at the end of the current season. Despite being a key player for the French club, Tagliafico is not expected to renew his contract.

Since joining Lyon in 2022, Tagliafico has been a consistent presence on the field, making 88 appearances across all competitions. This season alone, he has played in 19 matches, contributing three goals and one assist. However, his time with Les Gones appears to be drawing to a close.

Several factors are believed to be influencing Tagliafico’s decision to depart. These include concerns about safety in Lyon and dissatisfaction with recent managerial changes at the club. As one of the team’s highest-paid players, his departure could also have financial implications for Lyon.

With Tagliafico set to become a free agent in the summer, he is likely to attract interest from other clubs looking to secure an experienced international defender without paying a transfer fee.
