Olympique Lyonnais up offer for Bologna defender Miguel Britos to 10 million Euros – Ligue 1 news
Ligue 1 giants Olympique Lyonnais have doubled their offer for Uruguayan international Miguel Britos to 10 million Euros according to reports in French media.
Britos is currently under contract at Italian Serie A side Bologna but has been linked with a move to Stade Gerland for several days. Les Gones are in the market for a new defender and have been keeping tabs on the 25-year-old for a long time.
Newly-appointed Lyon coach Remi Garde is looking to make several changes to the club’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Defence-c38904 and has been following Britos for a long time.
Rumours in Italian media claim that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Montevideo-Wanderers-c39944
in 2008 and since then, the Uruguayan has become an important part of the side.
So far Britos has made 44 appearances for Rossoblu but is keen to move on to a new challenge in his career after a fairly successful first stint at a European club. The former Juventud de La Piedras player is also attracting a lot of attention from the likes
of Espanyol and Paris Saint-Germain.
Britos’ contract at the Stadio http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Renato-c30823 Dall’Ara is set to expire in 2013 which means that the Serie A side will not settle for anything less than 10 million Euros for the services of the highly-rated defender.
Initially, Les Gones were interested in the services of Nicolas N’Koulou who is currently playing with Ligue 2 side AS Monaco. However, the 21-year-old Cameroonian is relatively inexperienced as compared to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Miguel-Britos-c25544.
At first, it seemed that N’Koulou’s transfer to Lyon was the club’s main priority this summer. However, it now appears that the Rhone giants are giving serious thought on signing a more experienced defender. For now, it remains to be seen whether the Italian
club will accept Lyon’s offer for Britos or not.
Furthermore, Serie A side http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003 are another club that’s interested in the services of Britos which means that Lyon will have to push hard in order to acquire the highly-sought-after Uruguayan player.
