Olympique de Lyonnais star Kim Kallstrom uncertain about his future at the club - agent
Ligue 1 club, Olympique de Lyonnais, is surrounded by uncertainty. The club has been linked with many changes in recent weeks ranging from player departures to managerial changes. In the recent days, Coach Claude Puel’s future has been speculated at the club, along with several players of the side. Long serving http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sweden-c3015 International, Kim Kallstrom, is also among the players whose future at the club is under clouds.
Scandinavian daily ‘Aftonbladet’ has reported that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kim-c20955 Kallstrom is set to leave the club at the end of the ongoing season. Kallstrom’s contract with the club will expire in June 2012 and his agent has denied that the player will leave the club by the end of this season. While talking to the media, the agent said, "He has one year contract to Kim. This is our starting position. But Lyon does not really seem inclined to offer him an extension of lease."
Kallstrom has been at the Stade Gerland for the past five seasons and it seems that Les Gones would look to offer the Swede a contract extension out of desperation if a mass exodus occurs in the summer transfer window. Reports indicate that Premier League side Aston Villa and Greek giants, Olympiakos, are monitoring the Swede’s contract situation and may jump at an opportunity to sign him this June. Though, Kallstrom’s agent has not said anything about the rumours surrounding the player’s future,indicating that Kallstrom may not stay at the club after the end of the current campaign.
It can be considered a well thought-out move by the player’s agent, who has not closed the exit door while leaving room for a contract extension.
Kallstrom is just one of the many players being linked with moves away from the club. France International Hugo Lloris, Argentine striker Lisandro Lopez, Brazil star Michel Bastos were being linked with a Stade de Gerland exit by the end of this season. uncertainity continues to mount as the faithful duo of Cree and Aly Cissokho might also choose to leave the club should a summer exodus take place.
