Lyon seek to avoid stalemate over Duje Caleta-Car | OneFootball

According to Le Progres, Lyon want to avoid a stalemate over Duje Caleta-Car, who no longer features in the club’s plans.

The 29-year-old is under contract until 2027. Central defence is already well stocked and his salary is significant.

A free exit has been discussed, but Lyon previously paid €1.54m to loan the defender from Southampton, then activated a €3.5m option to buy.

Last season the Croatia international joined Real Sociedad on loan for €0.5m, and the Basque club did not take up their purchase option.

Lyon are aiming to land on their feet financially. There are contacts regarding the player, and the club still hope to agree a deal that leaves them at break-even.
