Sarah Bouhaddi - FRANCK FIFE / AFP

French international OL goalkeeper Sarah Bouhaddi announced on Saturday evening that she would leave her club, Olympique Lyonnais, without indicating her destination, which could be the United States. “It's time for me to take off. I grew up with this club, built a track record. I thank my president, Jean-Michel Aulas who has brought me so much and brought me to our sport. It allowed me to live my passion, ”said Bouhaddi in a video posted on his Twitter account.

Sarah Bouhaddi (145 caps) is expected to leave the Rhone club with German midfielder Dzsenifer Marozsan. Aged 33, Bouhaddi was trained at CNE de Clairefontaine before playing in Toulouse (2005-2006), Juvisy (2006-2009) and then Lyon where she was ten times champion of France, won seven French cups and especially six times the Champions League.

In an interview with the French daily Le Progrès on Friday , OL President Jean-Michel Aulas said he did not give up keeping Bouhaddi and Marozsan, recalling that the North American championship was currently stopped. He also suggested that the two players could also join OL Reign, the club bought by Olympique Lyonnais in late 2019 and said that if they left, OL would organize "an even bigger recruitment for next season". Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Dolores Gallardo is expected to replace Bouhaddi in OL's goals.
