After the departure of Aly Cissokho to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 last night, Remi Garde is keen to bring the former Boca Juniors man to Stade de Gerland from OGC Nice
After a long wait, Aly Cissokho was able to secure a move away from Olympique Lyonnais. Last night, La Liga giants, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 international.
The likes of Newcastle United and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 were also interested in acquiring the former Porto man’s services but it was the Iberians who lured the player to the Mestalla instead.
“http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aly-Cissokho-c5313. The completion of this transfer remains conditional on the result of the medical the defender will take tomorrow morning,” read a statement
on Lyon’s official website last night.
Cissokho was certainly an error in judgment from Lyon and his three-year stay at the club has cost the club a lot.
Now, Lyon will be looking to find a replacement for the left-back who despite his defensive frailties, offered a lot of attacking options. And, it is not surprising to know that Argentine international, Fabian Monzon is the player Remi Garde wants at the
club.
Le Progress claims that OGC Nice are willing to let go of the 25-year-old but want a player exchange. Les Aiglons coach Claude Puel, a former Lyon coach, is keen to have Clement Grenier in the squad if he Monzon’s allowed to leave.
However, Remi Garde does not want to lose the young talent especially after Yoann Gourcuff’s long-term injury. Instead, the French tactician is willing to offer Nice the services of winger Jeremy Pied.
The 23-year-old has featured sporadically for Les Gones in the past couple of seasons and Garde would not be against the idea of letting go of the youngster.
Tonight, Lyon face Evian TG in the second game of the Championnat and although Garde is reluctant to let go of Grenier, the Annonay-born player has not been included in the squad.
Monzon signed for the Alpes-Maritimes-based club from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Boca-Juniors-c38658 in 2011 and scored 10 goals for the club last season.
