Bordeaux Star Yoann Gourcuff: I Want To Return To Italy
The French prodigy would like to play in Italy, but not necessarily with his current owners, the Rossoneri ...
Yoann Gourcuff could not find much playing time at AC Milan and, as a result, the young Frenchman was loaned out to Girondins de Bordeaux for the duration of this season. The 22-year-old attacking midfielder has been in fine form in Ligue 1, scoring six times and completing eight assists this season.
His future has been riddled with speculation, with some sources suggesting he will remain in France and others touting him for a move to German giants Bayern Munich, whose interest was piqued due to the young midfielder’s fine showing in the Champions League.
"I want to play at a big club; I feel this is the right time now," the French international explained to sports newspaper L'Equipe.
"I would like to return to Italy. Milan or another big club – it does not matter to me. I want to measure myself in the Italian league once again."
Meanwhile, reports in the press have indicated that there is a clause in his Bordeaux contract that will allow the French side to sign him for approximately €13 million.
