Anthony Lopes Transfer from Olympique Lyonnais to Nantes

Anthony Lopes has joined Nantes from Lyon after not playing for six months. He has signed a contract for six months with an option to extend for two more years if Nantes maintains their league status. Lopes had connections with Nantes earlier in the summer, and his decision to join was quick once Nantes showed renewed interest in December. He aims to help Nantes achieve league survival and bring his leadership qualities to the team.

Anthony Lopes, after 24 years at Lyon, has transferred to Nantes. The former Portuguese international, aged 34, joined Lyon in 2000 for their youth setup. He has signed a contract with Nantes until the end of the season, with an option for two more years. This season, Lopes was excluded from the Lyon squad and had not played any matches, giving him a chance to return to the field with Nantes.

Anthony Lopes' transfer to Nantes is nearly confirmed, pending a successful medical examination. His departure from Lyon is expected this winter.

Portuguese goalkeeper Anthony Lopes, who has dedicated his entire career to Lyon, has been out of action since the beginning of the season and is anticipated to depart from the club prior to the expiration of his contract in June 2025. L’Équipe reported that the 34-year-old goalkeeper is expected to join Nantes as a replacement for Alban Lafont, who is also likely to exit the club during the winter transfer window. Lopes is set to sign a contract with Nantes for six months, which includes an option to extend for one or two years based on his performance in the first half of 2025.

Anthony Lopes, the iconic goalkeeper of Lyon, is expected to join Nantes during the winter transfer window. His contract would be for six months with options for additional years based on performance. Lopes had been in contact with Nantes over the summer, but the move did not materialize. Since then, he has not been part of the Lyon squad, as they installed Brazilian Lucas Perri as the main goalkeeper and Rémy Descamps, who arrived from Nantes, as backup.

Anthony Lopes, currently the fourth-choice goalkeeper at Lyon, was informed by the club that he could leave, and Nantes showed interest. Despite being offered the chance to leave for free with one year left on his contract, Lopes refused the proposal.

Nantes is considering Anthony Lopes as a replacement for Alban Lafont. However, Lyon does not want him anymore, and the parties are far from reaching an agreement.

Anthony Lopes, in the final year of his contract, has been linked with Nantes and Strasbourg. He is seeking a move after being demoted to backup goalkeeper.
