The English Premier League outfit is short on strikers at the moment and Brendan Rodgers may try his luck on the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130 man who is scoring goals for fun at the moment
Happy with his situation at Olympique Lyonnais, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 international Bafetimbi Gomis cannot imagine leaving Stade de Gerland in the upcoming January transfer window. However, things might change quickly with reports claiming that English Premier League side,
Liverpool FC are studying the option of signing the striker in a bid to increase the depth in their striking department.
Devoid of striker apart from Luis Suarez and Raheem Sterling, Liverpool will definitely go for a striker in the winter transfer window and are keen on testing the resolve of Olympique Lyonnais who have always been looking for ways to ease the burden on the
wage bill.
However, with their status quo changed from last season, it is not clear whether Jean-Michel Aulas would be willing to part ways with the former AS Saint-Etienne man. The striker scored his first hat-trick in Lyon’s 4-1 win over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127 at
the Stade Velodrome two nights back. The result saw Les Gones move on top of the Ligue 1 standings with a two-point lead over Paris Saint-Germain.
And, with things changing so rapidly, it is likely that Aulas would hold on to his temptations in a bid to make sure that the club ends the season in strong fashion. Furthermore, with Lisandro Lopez injured, Lyon don’t really have a lot of options in the
bench so selling Gomis will be a poor decision.
And, Gomis is also keen on staying at Stade de Gerland even though the club was willing to sell him to Rubin Kazan in the summer transfer window. Now, with nine league goals, Gomis has made a great start to the season for Remi Garde’s side and has said that
he has no reason to leave his current team.
“I planned until the end of December but I think that the coach is quite pleased with me. He pushes me to my limits. Overall, we had a frank discussion. He was not happy with me and told me that I could do more. When I got the chance to play a full game
against Marseille, I was happy and thanked him. There is no reason for me to.”
However, the striker is also well aware of the club’s financial issues so if a team like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 comes up with a good offer, it might be tempting.
