The contract renewal talks between Alexandre Lacazette and Lyon have been progressing smoothly, with both sides reportedly close to reaching a three-year agreement.

According to reports, Lacazette's representatives and Lyon's sporting director, Olivier Lemehoune, have held numerous meetings over the past few months in an attempt to reach an agreement on a new deal for the striker.

Lyon is understood to be keen on keeping Lacazette at the club, given his importance to their attack and his goal-scoring record during his time at the club. The club has also been looking to strengthen its attacking options this summer, but Lacazette remains a key target.

Both parties have been working towards a resolution, with the player's representatives reportedly seeking a long-term contract that would secure him at Lyon until the end of his career. The club, meanwhile, is said to be willing to offer Lacazette a lucrative deal that would ensure he stays at the club for several years.

The news comes after a difficult period for Lacazette, who struggled to find his form last season as injuries and fitness issues took their toll. However, he returned to the top of the league goalscoring charts in recent weeks, helping Lyon to climb back into the top four.

With negotiations now moving forward, it seems likely that Lacazette will stay at Lyon for the foreseeable future, with both sides eager to continue their successful partnership.
