The Benfica star is attracting a lot of interest from Ligue 1 side Olympique Lyonnais who are keen on signing a centre back this summer
“Seeking a quality central defender at an affordable rate,” this is the advertisement placed in front of the Stade de Gerland.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130 are desperate to find a new centre-back at a good price this summer. This season, a lot of defensive relapses have made the team suffer and coach Remi Garde wants to find a solution for these issues in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Having a good defence is the key to success in the French league where strikers don’t need any second invitation to exploit a defensive frailty. The Rhone management has finally understood this and know that having a sound rearguard is of utmost importance.
Though http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cris-c9486 is not getting young while Bakary Kone has struggled a lot after showing a lot of promise.
Lately, the name of Alexander Milosevic was linked with les Gones. The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/AIK-c38243 defender has been in fine form this campaign but it appears that the young Swede is not the only player under the radar of the Coupe de France champions.
Reports now claim that Lyon are also keeping tabs on Brazilian defender http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jardel-c17889.
According to news agencies in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899, Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas is very interested in the defender. The Brazilian is currently under contract at Benfica. After initially struggling to stamp his authority in the starting XI, the 26-year-old took advantage
of Garay’s injury and played a lot of games in the second half of the campaign.
Furthermore, some solid showings in the Champions League have alerted the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lazio-c39775 and Lokomotiv Moscow.
Benfica reportedly want just 4 million Euros for the player which means that Lyon may just be able to afford a transfer this time around.
However, in order to increase their chances in landing the player, Les Gones need to speed up their efforts as they might not want to miss out on a bargain price.
