Lyon forward Lisandro Lopez has completed a transfer to Qatari side Al-Gharafa. The 30-year-old Argentinian forward had been linked with a move to the Premier League but has decided to join the ambitious Qatari side instead.
With only one year left on the player's deal, the club were eager to sell on the player to another team to stop him from leaving on a free next year.
It is understood that Lopez decided to quit Lyon for what has been called "personal reasons".
“I’m sad to lose a man like Lisandro,” Lyon's coach Remi Garde said. “His departure is significant but we have to respect it.”
