<p>Lacazette has reached a full agreement with Saudi Pro League side Neom, according to <a href="https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Actualites/Mercato-alexandre-lacazette-tout-proche-de-s-engager-avec-neom-en-arabie-saoudite/1573446" target="_blank"><em>L’Equipe</em></a>. The 34-year-old former Arsenal and Lyon striker has signed a two-year deal and has already completed his medical with the newly promoted club. Before the move can be officially finalised, a minor detail in the contract needs to be worked out.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Lacazette became a free agent after his contract with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/john-textor-days-numbered-lyon-owner-faces-forced-out-debt-relegation-ligue-2-after-american-sold-crystal-palace-shares/blta5b4761a114a06b1" target="_blank">Lyon</a> expired following the club’s relegation from Ligue 1. Despite Lyon’s poor campaign, the forward remained a consistent performer, scoring 43 goals across two seasons since returning to the French side from Arsenal in 2022. His transfer to Neom is part of a larger trend of experienced European players choosing the Saudi Pro League.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Lacazette leaves Lyon with a total of 184 goals in 326 appearances over two spells. He was also club captain and top scorer during the 2023–25 period, despite their relegation.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Lacazette is expected to finalise his transfer to Neom once the last contractual detail is settled.  He will play in the Saudi Pro League for the 2025–26 season. The club could make him public within days, as long as both parties confirm it officially.</p>
