The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130 in favour of a move to White Hart Lane in the coming days
While talking to the media regarding the potential departure of France international http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hugo-Lloris-c16408, Olympique Lyonnais president, Jean-Michel Aulas revealed that it is up to the goalkeeper if he wants to leave Stade de Gerland or not and added that the club
will not sell their star player for anything less than 15 million euros.
“The stance (between the two clubs) has changed. I informed Lloris about the details of our exchanges on Monday. It is he who holds the key, the decision is his. I think he will be asked by Tottenham. For him, it is to see if the surroundings for development
are in line with what he expects, both is sporting and fiscal terms. There have been contacts, as there have been with other players. The bar is 15 million euros minimum,” said the Lyon supremo.
Today, Paris claims that Lloris’ departure from the Rhone club could speed up. Reports claim that Spurs and Lyon have finally agreed on a transfer fee for the 25-year-old shot-stopper. It has been rumoured that Lyon will accept 16.5 million euros from the
London club.
Initially, the Londoners offered Les Gones 12 million euros for Lloris, an amount that Aulas deemed insufficient. However, following the sale of Croatian international http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luka-Modric-c22857 to Real Madrid, the Spurs have ample transfer kitty to finance a move for
the former OGC Nice player.
And, Aulas has now chosen to show some flexibility regarding Lloris’ future as well. The Lyon president knows that the club is in dire need of extra cash and if generating cash means selling an important part of the defensive setup, so be it.
Now, the ball is in Lloris’ court. It remains to be seen whether the player would want to leave the team now as the season has already started. However, Lloris always wanted a move to a bigger league and the French Ligue 1 could see the departure of another
big player following the departure of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Eden-Hazard-c11863 and Olivier Giroud.
