World Cup-winning defender Nicolás Tagliafico, whose contract with Olympique Lyonnais recently expired, is reportedly evaluating a potentially unexpected career move: signing another deal with the very same club he just departed as a free agent.
This development comes despite Tagliafico being one of Lyon`s higher earners previously. The Rhône club, having navigated a financially precarious season that saw them flirt with relegation before a dramatic recovery on the pitch, is now operating with stringent financial controls. Consequently, any potential new agreement with the 32-year-old Argentine international would necessitate significantly reduced financial terms compared to his previous contract.
While a return to the familiar surroundings of the Groupama Stadium is on the table, Tagliafico is understood to have attracted attention from elsewhere. Prominent clubs such as Roma in Italy and Everton in England have been linked with his services since he became available on a free transfer.
As the summer transfer window progresses, the future of the experienced left-back remains a subject of speculation. However, the prospect of a seemingly unlikely reunion with Lyon adds an intriguing layer to his next career step, with a resolution potentially arriving in the near future.
