Transfer Rumors: Carlos Vela on Lyon's Radar

A few days ago, there was a possibility that the French team Olympique de Lyon would sign the Mexican striker Javier 'Chicharito' Hernández, and now the other option is Carlos Vela.

However, Real Sociedad refuses to let go of one of their best scorers in recent years, as Vela Garrido's performance has been notable since he arrived at the club in the 2011-2012 season.

The player from Quintana Roo's contract will expire in 2018, and the desire of the Basque team is to extend the agreement. However, the negotiation is currently on hold, which means they will have to listen to any offers that come in for the forward.

According to the Spanish newspaper AS, Real Sociedad has already rejected an initial offer of eight million euros for Carlos Vela, waiting for a better offer or reaching an agreement to retain the player.

Since defending the Txuri Urdin jersey, the 'Bomber' Vela boasts 65 goals in La Liga and has experience in England, having played for Arsenal and West Bromwich Albion, as well as for Salamanca and Osasuna in Spain.
