The January transfer window has seen Olympique Lyonnais fail to sign any new player but it now seems that Les Gones could lost one of their young talent to Italian football with Fiorentina and Palermo leading the chase
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 in Tola Vologe. This season, the likes of Maxime Gonalons, Clement Grenier and Samuel Umtiti have impressed and Remi Garde’s squad is currently brimming with some really talented
youngsters.
However, the Rhone giants are actually facing a dilemma in a bid to hold on to their promising players. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lamine-Gassama-c21626 was sold to Lorient with left-back Thimothée Kolodziejczak is keen on playing in the German Bundesliga one day.
However, it is now the turn of 20-year-old striker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 where Italian Serie
A sides Palermo and Fiorentina are keeping tabs on his progress.
The native of Algiers is yet to stamp his authority in the first-team but has already been touted for a great future ahead of him. With only 10 first-team appearances since 2009 (just one start), Belfodil is keen on getting some playing time.
The presence of prolific Lisandro Lopez and Bafetimbi Gomis means that the youngster has to be patient. However, Belfodil also wants to play first-team football and could be tempted by a move to Italian Serie A.
A departure to one of these two names would certainly not guarantee the youngster of regular playing time. La Viola (Fiorentina) have recently acquired http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Amauri-c5381 to their forward line which means that Belfodil would be hard-pressed to get regular action.
However, a meeting has been scheduled today between the two parties even though the transaction looks complicated in view of the financial requirements of Lyon. Lyon want at least 10 million Euros for the promising striker, a sum that the two Italian sides
might not want to pay.
It seems that Lyon have set their valuation in a bid to dissuade the two clubs to take action. However, a loan move cannot be ruled out as Garde would want the youngster to gain some experience before drafting him into the first-team.
