I have many memories here, many links too, especially with President Jean Michel Aulas who has always supported me. I left Lyon in 2013 with regrets because I had the feeling that I hadn’t shown everything. I want to prove everyone what a player I really am added the 2018 vice-world champion and the third in the World Cup in Qatar, who signed up until June 2025.
The first of a long list?
At 33, the player trained at Dinamo Zagreb, winner of the Champions League in 2019 with the Reds, certainly no longer has the ardor of his first seasons with professionals. But he demonstrated in the Gulf, where he played all of the first six meetings of the Vatreni, that he always kept under the sole. An experienced rookie who will serve as a relay in the field for his coach. While waiting for others to arrive in the coming days?
