Official | Alejandro Gomes Rodriguez extends Lyon contract until 2028 | OneFootball

Olympique Lyonnais have confirmed that England youth international Alejandro Gomes Rodriguez (17) has signed a new contract with the club. The Englishman’s new deal with the Rhône club is set to last for a further 3 seasons until the end of 2028.

Lyon signed Gomes from Southampton on a free transfer in 2024. The Venezuelan-born striker made his professional debut for Les Gones last year. Gomes Rodriguez took to the field as a second-half substitute during Lyon’s 2-1 defeat against Lens in April.  The former Southampton attacker was included in OL’s first three squads of this season, but has yet to make an appearance.

Opportunity for Gomes Rodriguez?

Lyon currently doesn’t have a recognised striker after the Ligue 1 club sanctioned the sale of Georgian international Georges Mikautadze (24) to Villarreal on transfer deadline day. The French outfit tried to recruit a striker, but decided against a panic buy. This could create an opportunity for the youngster at the first-team level.
