LOSC Lille keeping tabs on Sergio Floccari of SS http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lazio-c39775 – Ligue 1 news
According to reports in Italian and French media, reigning French Ligue 1 champions LOSC Lille are considering signing Italian striker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sergio-Floccari-c33061 who is currently plying his trade with Italian Serie A outfit SS Lazio.
Les Dogues coach, Rudi Garcia has been in the market for a new striker all summer following the departure of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Moussa-Sow-c26939 yet to open his account in the 2011/2012 Ligue 1 and Tulio de Melo linked
with a move away from the Stade Metropole, Lille are short on offensive options.
Garcia has now turned his attention towards Sergio Floccari in order to bring in the Italian. La Gazzetta dello Sport reveals that Les Dogues have already contacted Lazio for the availability of the 29-year-old striker who scored eight goals in 25 Serie
A games last season.
Furthermore, the recent arrival of German international http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Miroslav-Klose-c26049 from Bayern Munich and Djibril Cisse, Floccari might find it hard to get a regular starting spot in Edy Reja’s side.
The former Genoa and Atlanta man is also reportedly keen on moving towards a new challenge in his career and is attracted by Lille. The Vibo Valentia-born player will have the option of playing in the UEFA Champions League for Lille this season if he chooses
to join the Villeneuve d’Ascq club.
Reports in La Gazzetta dello Sport claim that Lille have already launched a formal loan offer for the player. Lille are willing to pay up to 1 million Euros for the player and are also willing to exercise the option of purchasing him for 4.5 million Euros
if the player settles down at the club.
Though the Romans are looking for at least six million Euros for the striker, a compromise might be reached between the two parties as Lazio are also willing to let go of the striker who is also being tracked by Parma.
A move for the experienced striker might be on the cards for Lille who are keen to add one more striker to their squad before this summer’s transfer window shuts down.
