The Lyon coach has admitted that the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858 international could leave Stade de Gerland before the start of the next season
Les Gones are witnessing a major overhaul in their ranks with several key players leaving the club ahead of the new season. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Russia-c2991.
Goalkeeper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dejan-Lovren-c10779 and Michel Bastos have been linked with a move away from the club as well.
Michel Bastos, in particular, was close to securing his move to the Middle East with Al Ain touted as a likely destination for the 29-year-old. However, the deal did not go through and the former Lille player is still at Stade de Gerland.
Although Bastos’ proposed move to Al Ain fell through, the Brazilian could still leave Les Gones before the end of the transfer window.
Several clubs are closely monitoring the winger’s situation and Bastos could be on the move sooner rather than later.
Lyon coach, Remi Garde, has admitted that despite OL’s reluctance, Michel Bastos could leave Stade de Gerland in the next couple of weeks.
While talking to reporters, the former Arsenal player praised the 29-year-old and said that losing him would be a huge loss for Les Gones. The Frenchman said that the Brazilian is still a Lyon player at the moment but that can change quickly.
“He is still a Lyon player,” said the coach.
Garde revealed that several clubs have inquired about Bastos’ availability and Lyon are bracing for more offers for the talented winger.
“Michel is a talented player. Several clubs want him and things can quickly change in football. He might not be a Lyon player tomorrow.”
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michel-Bastos-c25461 was linked with a move to Italian giants Juventus in the past and at one point, he almost joined the Serie A side.
The 29-year-old, who can also play as a full-back, was an integral part of Remi Garde’s side last season that finished 4th in the 2011/2012 Ligue 1 campaign.
Bastos managed to make 19 appearances for the Rhone giants last season scoring 6 goals in the process.
