Transfers, Fanni : Lyon rather than Marseille ?

Will Olympique de Marseille manage to complete Rod Fanni’s transfer? The question deserves to be asked, as the defending France champion seems unable to agree on contractual terms with Stade Rennes defender.

Despite Jean-Claude Dassier’s recent ultimatum, negotiations are continuing between the club and the player’s agent. According to La Provence, both parts planned to meet again this Tuesday after a meeting on Monday afternoon. But new circumstances could give the negotiations a twist.

Indeed, according to information from L’Équipe, the Olympique Lyonnais has now expressed their interest for the French international. The Lyon management is believed to have taken contact with Fanni’s agent regarding his contract and salary demand. Last Sunday, talking to Canal+, Jean-Michel Aulas had already announced, in a smile, that the Rennes right back could join the Rhône-side team. A real interest or manoeuvres by the Lyon president to avoid seeing Marseille reinforce their defensive line a few days before the showdown between the teams? To be answered in the next few days.
