Olympique de Lyonnais following Bologna defender Miguel Britos – Ligue 1 news
Reports in Rhone district of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Miguel-Britos-c25544, who is currently playing in the Italian Serie A with Bologna.
With the departure of Pape Diakhate to his parent club, Dynamo Kyiv, and age catching up on Brazilian defender http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cris-c9486, Olympique de Lyonnais are in the market for a central defender and see the 25-year-old South American as a valuable addition to Les Gones
squad. According to Italian media, Olympique de Lyonnais have not yet approached the player but might table a bid for Britos in the coming days.
The Uruguayan has just completed his third season with the Emilia-Romagna-based club and has become an important part of the Rossoblu squad. Reports suggest that Bologna value Britos at 12 million Euros, an amount that Olympique de Lyonnais are reportedly
not willing to pay for the defender. Rumours suggest that Les Gones are considering making an offer in the region of 10 million Euros for the player, which means that the French club will have a lot of bargaining to do in order to bring the South American
to Stade Gerland.
Furthermore, Olympique de Lyonnais have already announced that the club will not be paying astronomical amount of money for players like they did last summer when they splashed around 46 million Euros for the services of Lisandro Lopez (from Porto) and Yoann
Gourcuff (Bordeaux). Moreover, reports suggest that Olympique de Lyonnais might face some stiff competition from the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 and Besiktas in the race for Britos’ signature.

performances for Bologna that helped save the club for relegation have not done any harm to his credentials as a top draw defender. A move to a bigger club like Lyon would definitely do a world of good to the player’s profile and might possibly earn him his
first international call-up.
