The Croatian international has been hotly linked with a move away from Stade de Gerland but the Rhone giants have fixed a price on the player in a bid to fend off interest
Though he has played just two and a half seasons for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dejan-Lovren-c10779 has become an integral member of Remi Garde’s side. The 23-year-old was signed from Dinamo Zagreb in the January transfer window of 2010 and since
his arrival, has gone from strength to strength.
Today, Lovren is a vital member of the starting XI. Self-assuring performances at the back have definitely given the Lyon management a lot of headaches as he is attracting a lot of interest from the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603.
Reports in Le Parisien claim that Roma are indeed looking to renew their interest in a defender who surely has a great future ahead of him.
So far, no details of a possible offer have been revealed but the newspaper claims that the seven-time champions of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 have a firm stance on their prized asset.
Les Gones president, Jean-Michel Aulas, has made it clear that the player will not be sold for anything less than 20 million euros. The sum allows Lyon to get a nice profit as the Zenica-born player was signed for 8 million euros.
However, it appears that the player’s recent valuation has been made largely in order to fend off interest from other clubs. Lyon are in no mood to sell one of their best players. Furthermore, with Aulas trying to bring France international, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mamadou-Sakho-c23293
on loan from Paris Saint-Germain, the presence of Lovren at the club next season becomes of paramount importance.
If they are able to lure Sakho away from the Parc des Princes, the Rhone club’s president would not really want to let slip a player who would be the most suitable partner to the Frenchman at the centre of defence next season.
With http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cris-c9486 reaching the twilight years of his career and Samuel Umtiti still too young to play regularly, Lyon need to keep hold of Lovren who wants to win more trophies for the club.
