During the summer, advanced discussions were held between Alexandre Lacazette and Al-Qadisiya. Despite the advanced discussions, Lacazette decided to stay with Olympique Lyonnais for another year. The French striker, who had an impressive goal-scoring record with OL, was approached by the Saudi club during a period when his performance had dipped slightly. However, Lacazette, who was also dealing with the aftermath of his participation in the Paris 2024 Olympics, chose to continue his journey with Lyon, prioritizing stability over a new challenge in Saudi Arabia.
