Lisandru Olmeta on the start?
Top-level football has often shown that it is not easy to follow in your father’s footsteps. The sons of Zinedine Zidane, Enzo, Luca, Théo and Elyaz, can also testify to this. New example with Lisandru Olmeta, the son of Pascal Olmeta, former OM legend, 1993 European champion. This is even more the case when the son begins a career in the same position as his father. Arrived in 2020 on the Rock from his native Corsica, Lisandru climbed one by one the steps leading to the highest level, whether with monaco or in the youth categories of the France team. It is him who took France to the title of European Champion in the U17 category, notably stopping a shot on goal during the quarter-final against Germany (1-1, 4 pens to 3), then in the half against Portugal (2-2, 6 pens to 5).
At 17, despite his young age, Lisandru Olmeta knows he is at a crossroads and is aware that the choice he will make in the coming days will be decisive for his future. At the end of the aspiring contract on June 30, the Monegasque goalkeeper has a proposal for a first professional contract with AS Monaco, submitted a few weeks ago. But the player hesitates. Not necessarily for financial considerations, but rather because of a sporting project with still vague outlines.
If he does not intend to come immediately to compete with Alexander Nübel in the goal of the first team, he wants to know what Monaco intends to do with him. Indeed, the European champion wants a long-term contract over several years depending on his development. Of course, Lisandru Olmeta aims to evolve in League 1 in the medium or long term, even if he knows that he still has to work a lot to achieve this. And six months from the end of his contract, the holder in the goals of ASM in Gambardella Cup sees three clubs actually wooing him.
Rennes, Manchester City and beautiful people on Lisandru Olmeta…
Of these three clubs, two are about to take action, including Stade Rennais, very interested in the player’s profile, but also Manchester Citythrough Troyes, according to our information. The French U18 international also caught the eye of many European and especially English clubs (Chelsea, West Ham, Manchester United and Leeds in particular) who did not miss a beat of the goalkeeper’s performances during the matches of the Premier League International Cup disputed by Monaco last November, against Manchester United and Arsenal.
Go pro in Monaco or leave? Lisandru Olmeta now has all the cards in hand to decide his future. One has chosen is sure, it is the player and only the player who decides what he will do beyond June 30th. Neither his parents nor his agents (the Stellar agency which manages his interests) will interfere in the choice of Olmeta, who whatever happens will put the sportsman before everything else.
