The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130 defender is attracting a lot of interest from the capital club who are keen on replacing the ageing Juan this summer
Set to miss the last three games of the season due to injury, Olympique Lyonnais defender http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dejan-Lovren-c10779 has been the best defender for the club this season. However, it still remains to be seen whether the young centre-back will ever wear the club’s colours
again or not.
Under contract with the seven-time http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 champions until 2016, the talented player from Zenica says that seeing his club miss out of Champions League football won’t be unacceptable.
The Croatian says that he will be happy if the club qualifies for the Champions League but not being able to play in the competition would surely be disappointing for him.
“I do not think about it much. I give myself fully to the club that wins this qualification for the Champions League. I will be very happy for the club if we do achieve this objective. If we fail, I will be sad. But nothing is over and it’s all open.”
For now, everything is certainly good at the club but somewhere in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926, the Croatian is becoming a wanted man.
AS http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603, who are also struggling to qualify for the Champions League, are keen on signing the player. Giallorossi know that they have to find a good replacement for the ageing Juan and sporting director, Walter Sabatini sees Lovren as the ideal replacement.
However, the Romans are yet to launch an offer for the defender and have joined the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan who are also chasing the signature of the highly-rated defender.
Jean-Michel Aulas considers the player as an important part of the future of Lyon and would try his best to keep him at the Stade de Gerland.
However, with the state of their financial affairs, the Lyon supremo would be forced into selling the player if a club comes up with an offer of more than 10 million Euros for him.
Though it still remains to be seen whether Lovren would want to leave the Rhone giants or not, it is clear that the player will be the centre of debate this summer.
