Ghana Skipper John Mensah Wants To Leave Lyon For Galatasaray

Ghana's national team captain John Mensah may be moving away from Lyon after only one season.

Ghana skipper and Lyon defender, John Mensah, may be on his way out of seven-time successive champions Olympique Lyonnais if his club accepts the €4 million bid that was sent to Tola Vologe from Galatasaray at the beginning of the week.

After a very lacklustre first season, the man who is nicknamed "The Rock" in his native Ghana could himself be pushing for a departure. After being attacked by the police and racially insulted, the injury-prone giant never fully convinced in the different roles that were given him this season.

He unfortunately only started twelve matches this year, but Galatasaray would be highly interested if their local idol Servet Cetin leaves for Lyon's rivals, Marseille in the upcoming days. But apparently Les Gones are not interested in selling the player for a price this low.

More informations will be disclosed when Mensah comes back from the joint qualifiers of the African Cup of Nations and World Cup.
