Milan-Target Lloris To Join Lyon
Nice goalkeeper Hugo Lloris will join Lyon within the next 24 hours, the French champions’ President Jean-Michel Aulas has claimed.
May 26, 2008 1:19:57 PM
It has been strongly reported in the European press over the
past week or so that Milan
were closing in on a deal to sign French Under-21 shot-stopper Lloris.
Several days ago L’Equipe claimed that the Diavoli had agreed personal terms with the shot-stopper over a four-year contract, and all that was required in order to complete the transfer was to arrange a fee with Nice.
It had appeared that a transfer to Milan was a formality, however in a stunning turn of events, it now seems that Lloris is on the brink of signing for Lyon instead.
The French champions are on the lookout for a new number one after Gregory Coupet announced that he was leaving, and it seems that Lloris will be replacing him.
Lyon President Jean Michel Aulas told French Radio Station RTL that Lloris will sign for Lyon within 24 hours, thus naturally ending any hope Milan had of buying him.
