The agent of Olympique Lyonnais full-back Aly Cissokho has confirmed that the player will likely stay at the club at least until the summer.

The 24-year-old has been heavily linked with a move to Juventus, while also attracting interest from Newcastle United.

However, a potential switch to the Turin side in January now appears to be off according to the player's representative, Ali Barat.

"Juventus are interested in Aly but they will make no offer this winter. Aly is at Lyon. There will be nothing this winter although you never know what can happen in football," he told L'Equipe.

The France international joined Lyon in the summer of 2009 from Porto.
