The Chelsea man is keen on leaving Stamford Bridge this summer and the Ligue 1 giants are among host of clubs looking to acquire the Ivorian’s services
It seemed to be an easy issue for Arsenal last winter when English media claimed that Arsene Wenger was keen on bringing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Salomon-Kalou-c32266 to the Emirates. The Ivorian striker will be out of contract this June and will have a lot of options come the summer transfer window.
However, it now appears that the London club is not leading the race for the player's signature anymore. Reports in media now claim that the 26-year-old has more chances of joining Schalke 04 than of joining http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429.
Kalou’s contractual situation has attracted a lot of interest from the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dirk-Kuyt-c11348 who is set to join Turkish giants Fenerbahce and could consider swooping in for the Ivorian.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130 on the other hand, have a very limited transfer budget so they cannot ignore such a great opportunity pass them by.
Though German Bundesliga giants Schalke 04 have made a head start, nothing has been finalised yet. Kalou on the other hand, wants to join a club that is at the top of the table and offers him significant playing time – something that he was never been given during his time at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786.
However, the lure of playing in the Champions League which the Gelsenkirchen side can offer the player, could prove to be to their advantage.
The arrival of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Feyenoord-c39258 man.
Lyon on the other hand, could lose the services of Lisandro Lopez whose goalscoring form has attracted interest from all sides. Though the Argentine does not want to leave Stade de Gerland, a good offer might turn out to be too hard to resist for the Rhone giants who are in bad need of extra cash.
