Lyon’s Maxence Caqueret rejects offer from Fulham | OneFootball

L’Équipe report tonight that Premier League outfit Fulham have attempted a last-minute deadline day move for Lyon midfielder Maxence Caqueret – the player himself has turned down their advances.

According to the French outlet, the Cottagers made a lucrative offer to the French youth international, who despite Lyon’s recent struggles – they are winless so far this season – had been the subject of little transfer interest so far this summer.

However, Caqueret has immediately turned down the offer. The current 12th-placed Premier League side also look set to hold on to Portuguese international midfielder João Palhinha after a move to Bayern Munich collapsed at the last minute.

Caqueret has made 133 appearances for Lyon since breaking into his formative club’s first team during the 2019/20, and has established himself as a consistent fixture in the team over the last three seasons. Last year, he scored four goals and registered seven assists.
