The Olympique Lyonnais president has said that the club will be looking to keep hold of the likes of Gourcuff and Lopez but will let go of a few players
Not being able to secure a place in next season’s edition of the UEFA Champions League has not been taken lightly by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130 president Jean-Michel Aulas. The Lyon supremo knows that failing to finish the season in third place will have financial
consequences for the club and that Lyon will be forced to lose a few players.
The likes of Hugo Lloris, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Yoann-Gourcuff-c37416, Michel Bastos and Aly Cissokho have already been linked with moves away from Stade de Gerland. In a press conference, Aulas shed some light on what could be expected in the upcoming transfer window.
Aulas says that he will not be looking to lose his best players and revealed that Lisandro Lopez and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hugo-Lloris-c16408 will stay at the club. Last night, Lloris expressed his disappointment at the club’s failure to qualify for the Champions League, thus sparking
rumours of an exit.
“There will be a number of departures that were already scheduled. But we do not plan to leave our best players. I spoke to Lisandro and Lloris: they will be with us next season.”
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michel-Bastos-c25461 has been linked with a move to Juventus for quite some time now but could be set to stay at the club for one more campaign.
However, the same can’t be said about the likes of Ederson, Aly Cissokho, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/John-Mensah-c18877.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sweden-c3015 international Kim Kallstrom recently revealed that he may be joining Russian giants Rubin Kazan for next season.
“We see his future elsewhere (Mensah). (For Kallstrom) This club (Rubin Kazan) told us that they will contact him again. If there is a good proposal, we will accept it and let him go,” said Aulas.
Finally, in terms of arrivals, Aulas said that Lyon might not go spending big this summer as Remi Garde wants to reduce the staff.
