Pablo Pagis has confirmed he will leave FC Lorient this summer. The 23-year-old striker says now is the perfect time to move forward in his career.
The French forward has played 30 matches for Lorient this season. He has scored ten goals and created three more for his team-mates. This has been his best campaign at the club so far.
Four Ligue 1 clubs want to sign him. Olympique Lyonnais, Stade Rennais, RC Lens, and Paris FC are all keen on the player. They have watched him closely throughout the season.
Pagis spoke to reporters on Thursday. He said many ambitious clubs are interested in him. He feels very proud of this attention.
The attacker wants to stay in France if possible. However, he would listen to offers from big foreign leagues. He does not want to move too quickly to a league that is too difficult.
He dreams of playing in European competitions. He thinks Lens and Rennes would be good fits for his style. Both clubs often play in continental tournaments.
Lorient are safe from relegation this season. This means Pagis can leave without worry. The club will sell him during the summer transfer window.
