Lyon is expressing interest in securing the services of Gervinho, the Ivorian forward, from Arsenal. Lyon President Jean-Michel Aulas is reportedly open to the idea of parting with Yoann Gourcuff to make way for Gervinho’s potential arrival.
Arsenal is said to be asking for a transfer fee ranging from 8 to 10 million euros to release Gervinho, who is also being pursued by Roma. Additionally, Gervinho’s annual salary is reported to be 3 million euros gross outside France, which adds a financial aspect to the consideration for Lyon.
Jean-Michel Aulas is known to be a fan of Gervinho, who previously played for Lille, and considers him a priority for the club. If Lyon decides to pursue this transfer, it could involve negotiations with Arsenal and potentially reshaping the squad by allowing Gourcuff to depart.
The dynamics of player transfers and negotiations can change, so it will be interesting to see how these developments unfold and whether Gervinho eventually makes a move to Lyon.
