The Frenchman saw relegation to Ligue 2 football with Dijon FCO and has expressed his desire to leave the Burgundy club in favour of perhaps http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130
The 2011/2012 Ligue 1 campaign has been a poor and forgettable time for Dijon FCO. After working so hard to be promoted to top level French football, Dijon FCO suffered relegation back to Ligue 2. Lower echelons of any league is never a good thing for any
club as good players tend to jump ship in search of more competitive football.
Same is the case with Dijon FCO who will surely have to let go of star midfielder Benjamin Corgnet. The 25-year-old midfielder had a great season on a personal not. Architect of a superb first half of the season at Dijon, the midfielder found it hard to
maintain his level in the second half largely due to the fact that he was not surrounded with players who were willing to step up a notch.
The midfielder is under contract at the club until 2016 but has now expressed his desire to leave Burgundy in order to find a club that can provide him top-level football on a more regular basis.
While talking to media, Corgnet admitted that after playing at a higher level, it’s never easy to take a backward step which is the reason why he wants his current club to do something about it.
“First, I want to stay in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899. Going abroad right away won’t be dangerous but I still have to improve.”
Many clubs are following the player with Olympique Lyonnais in particular. In recent months, the Rhone giants have been linked with a move for the player. and Corgnet is also flattered by Lyon’s interest in him.
“Hearing about Lyon’s interest is very flattering. OL is a very big club. it’s very nice to hear that they are interested in you, but we’ll see if this will happen at all.”
Lyon are set to lose the services of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kim-c20955 Kallstrom this summer. With the Swede international apparently Russia-bound, Remi Garde might consider acquiring the services of Corgnet this summer.
