And if the supporters lyonnais finally had the right to a little happiness, after a nightmarish season? On the next day of a Hero match having immersed more than 20,000 people in the biggest emotion of their life at the stadium, namely the first coronation in Ligue 1 of l’OL just 20 years ago, the club has just formalized this Wednesday an extremely awaited signature.
It is indeed the extension of Maxence Caqueret. Very valuable this season, the midfielder was about to enter his last year of contract, which made him a priority file to manage for the Aulas-Ponsot-Cheyrou trio.
OL explains that he was “solicited by many clubs”
Olympique Lyonnais has therefore obtained the extension, until June 2026, of its 22-year-old player, almost the only one to have been regular this season with the very promising Castello Lukeba (19). Maxence Caqueret who joined the OL training center in 2011, in the U11 category, has always played a leading role, even being captain in each of the youth categories. There is no doubt that the armband of the Lyon professional team could soon also arrive on the arm of the international hopes (13 caps and 2 goals).
Pro in Lyon since December 2018, Maxence Caqueret has already played 88 games with OL, including 37 this season under the orders of Peter Bosz, who quickly made him his manager in the middle. In his press release, Olympique Lyonnais announces “to be delighted with the choice of Maxence Caqueret, requested by many clubs, who wanted to register for the long term with his training club in order to reach a new level”. As often in sobriety, Jean-Michel Aulas began the press conference this Wednesday by presenting him as “the best hope in the world of football”. No more no less.
