Reports in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristian-c9491 Rodriguez, from Gremio
Out of contract next June with FC Porto, Uruguay international, Cristian Rodriguez is on the shelves of several clubs including Ligue 1 strugglers, Olympique Lyonnais and Olympique de Marseille.
“He is nicknamed l’Oignon (Onion), because he makes defenders cry.” This is how http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Uruguay-c3035 international, Cristian Rodriguez was presented on his unveiling at the Camp des Loges when he signed for Paris Saint-Germain in 2005. Signed from Penarol along with
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carlos-c8346 Bueno, the winger never really managed to impose himself at Parc des Princes despite successfully impressing fans with his grinta.
Too much under pressure and devoid of confidence and self-belief, the youngster left Ile to join Portuguese giants, FC Porto. It was at Porto where his career took off following a successful first season.
However, the result of his move seems less glorious today and the winger is now patiently waiting for his contract at Porto to end. Though he has joined Gremio on loan, Rodriguez might bounce back quickly in Europe.
According to Portuguese daily, Diario de Noticias, the likes of Zenit St Petersburg and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127 are also very interested in Rodriguez’s services.
The 26-year-old is also keen on returning to European football so he won’t be opposed to a move to either of the two Rhone clubs.
The track is plausible for both Lyon and Marseille. The two giants are now on the lookout for good deals given their financial issues.
Furthermore, if they fail to qualify for the Champions League, Marseille and Lyon could lose their star players.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michel-Bastos-c25461 could be playing his last season for Lyon while Andre Ayew has always been linked with a move away from the Velodrome. Both players are wingers and Rodriguez could be in line for replacing them.
For both Olympique clubs, making big money signings is a thing of the past. The two clubs will certainly try to strike a deal for the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 man as they will be getting a player who has Ligue 1 experience and will join as a free agent.
