According to French media RMC on May 15, Lacazette's contract with Lyon is about to expire. This Saturday, he will usher in a home farewell match against Angers in the Ligue 1 match. In honor of the club legend, Lyon plans to pay tribute to him during the game.

Lacazette has played for Lyon since 2003. In 17 years, he has played 390 times for the team and scored 199 goals, becoming a legend in the club's history. Saturday's game was not only a farewell battle for Lacazette, but also an important moment to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the club.

Club Lyon said: "It was an important day and we also realized that we have never really said goodbye to those players whose contracts expired. We want to thank Lacazette for their contributions here for more than 20 years, and there will be a special part to pay tribute to him before and after the game."

Although Lacazette left the team to join Arsenal between 2017 and 2022, he eventually returned to his parent team and served as captain again. Currently, Lyon ranks 7th in the Ligue 1 standings and has 54 points. To qualify for the European War, they not only need to defeat Angers on Saturday, but also hope that competitors such as Strasbourg, Lille and Nice will lose points.

For Lacazette personally, this game will be his 391st appearance, and he may also break through the 200-goal mark in this game, which will be a wonderful memory he left to Lyon fans.
