French international goalkeeper Lyon, 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 is time for me to take off, I grew up with this club, built a track record. I thank my president, Jean-Michel Aulas who brought me so much and brought me to our sport. He allowed me to live from 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.
Ten times champion of France
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 Progrès on Friday, OL President Jean-Michel Aulas said he would not give up keeping Bouhaddi and Marozsan, recalling that the North American championship has now stopped.
Gallardo as reinforcement?
He also suggested that the two players could also join OL Reign, the club bought by Olympique Lyonnais in late 2019. But Bouhaddi should instead head for Salt Lake City, like his partner Marozsan.
Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Dolores Gallardo is expected to replace Bouhaddi in OL goals.
