OL GROUPE : MAXIME GONALONS TRANSFERRED TO AS ROMA

Lyon, 30 June 2017

Olympique Lyonnais has agreed to transfer Maxime Gonalons to AS Roma for €5 million. The transfer will be confirmed between now and 10 July once the customary technical conditions have been met.

Maxime began his training at Olympique Lyonnais in 2000 and has played nearly 350 matches with the professional squad.

Captain of the OL side since 2013, Maxime won one Coupe de France and one Trophée des Champions and played in two European cup semi-finals with OL: the Champions League in 2010 and the Europa League in 2017. Since 2011, he has also played on the French national team.

Given that Maxime wanted to reorient his career – he had already been in advanced discussions with Naples 2½ years ago – the club employed its best efforts, including financially, to support his initiative and enable him to join one of Europe's greatest clubs, and one with which OL maintains a good relationship.

Olympique Lyonnais would like to thank Maxime, his family and those close to him for his loyalty and dedication throughout the years he was on the team. The club wishes him every success in this next phase of his career, beginning with the forthcoming season at AS Roma. He is welcome to return at any time to the club that trained him, either as a player or in another role after the end of his playing career.
