http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bruno-c8098 Cortes – Ligue 1 news
Reports in French media suggest that Ligue 1 giants Olympique Lyonnais are keeping tabs on young Brazilian international Bruno Cortes.
With the future of current left-back http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Aly-Cissokho-c5313 still far away from being settled, Les Gones are keeping their options open. In the worst case scenario if Cissokho does chose to leave Stade de Gerland, Lyon will mount a bid for Cortes who currently playing
in the Campeonato Brasileiro Serie A with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Botafogo-c38671.
Though Les Gones have signed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mouhamadou-Dabo-c26889 from Seville this summer, les Gones still want to have a world class left-back in their ranks who could aptly replace Cissokho who has many times expressed his desire to leave the Rhone club with the English Premier
League his preferred destination.
The 24-year-old Brazilian left-back is also attracting considerable interest from Italian Serie A, side http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Maurício-c24900 Assumpção.
Agent of the Brazilian international, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paulo-c29431 on Sunday before leaving. He said he would bring in an offer on Sunday. Yesterday, a call came from Lyon to make inquiries
about Cortes but I was not present. There were no other contacts.”
Though the young left-back has alerted about his talent to many clubs in Europe, his agent and the club president feel that the Brazilian is not ready to leave http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858 just yet. Nova Iguacu, the club that owns 50% of the player’s rights, also will have the
final say on any transfer to a European club which means that Les Gones will have a considerable amount of bargaining to do in order to bring in the Cortes.
The youngster has been on loan at Botafogo and has already played 17 Campeonato games for La Fogao. His great performances for the club earned him his first international call-up in a 2-0 win over archrivals http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Argentina-c2841 in an international friendly on September
28, 2011.
Though Lyon are desperate in landing the 24-year-old full-back, it seems that any move for the young defender will take some time in materialising as Lyon will have to deal with Botafogo and Nova Iguacu who will have the final say over any transfer of the
defender.
