The France international has always been linked with a move away from Stade de Gerland and this summer, the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Porto-c39186 star may well leave the club for god
For several months, left-back http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809. A few weeks back, the player admitted that it would be a dream come
true for him if he plays under Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson at Manchester United.
Many times, Olympique Lyonnais have spoken about the contingency plan regarding the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 international but a departure has never happened.
This summer, the situation might be a bit different. While his status as an undisputed holder in the starting XI has changed largely due to the emergence of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mouhamadou-Dabo-c26889, the Frenchman could leave the Rhone giants when the summer transfer window opens.
L’Equipe claims that the player is set to meet the club’s management next week to discuss his future.
The sports daily has also revealed that the player may even have a few offers heading his way. Indeed, the likes of Newcastle United and Juventus lead the race for signing Cissokho. AS http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 are the other two Italian Serie A sides who appreciate
the player’s profile which means that Cissokho would certainly have a lot of options come the transfer window.
However, Lyon will not be looking to offload the player for a bargain price. Les Gones were initially looking for at least 10 million Euros. However, it now appears that club president, Jean-Michel Aulas is willing to yield a bit at this point of time.
A cheque in the region of 7-8 million Euros may be enough to convince Lyon into selling a player who is under contract until June 2014.
Furthermore, Cissokho’s departure would considerably lower down the payroll which is so dear to Aulas. Conditions and circumstances seem ripe for Cissokho to bid adieu to the club where he has often been criticised for ignoring his defensive responsibilities.
Cissokho was on the verge of signing for AC Milan but a medical complication collapsed the move. Later on, the youngster signed for Lyon for 15 million euros.
