### Lacazette Renews Contract with Lyon, Both Approaching 3-Year Deal

In a significant move for French football, Lionel Messi's teammate and compatriot Antoine Griezmann has extended his contract with Lyon until the end of the 2024-25 season. This extension brings both players' contracts to a new three-year period, further cementing their roles as core members of the club.

The signing comes after a successful campaign in which Griezmann scored 18 goals and provided 16 assists for Lyon, helping them secure third place in Ligue 1. The team's performance was particularly notable considering they faced tough competition from clubs like Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Real Madrid.

Meanwhile, Messi, who is now considered one of the greatest players in history, has also inked a new deal with Barcelona, extending his stay at Camp Nou until the end of the 2024-25 season. This move solidifies his status as a permanent fixture in La Liga and continues his dominance on the global stage.

The extensions represent a strong commitment from both players and their respective clubs to continue their success together. They come just weeks after Messi announced he would be leaving FC Barcelona in the summer, although it remains unclear if this will happen or not.

For Lyon, Griezmann's renewal adds depth to their attack and strengthens their chances of competing for top honors in Ligue 1 next season. For Barcelona, Messi's续约 ensures that he will be available for all future competitions, including potential Champions League appearances.

Both deals highlight the importance of long-term loyalty in professional sports and the enduring nature of some of the world's most celebrated athletes. As the season progresses, fans can expect more exciting matches and potentially even more drama surrounding these two legendary figures in French football.
