Yoan Gourcuff wants to join Lyon

Amidst interest from Lyon, Yoan Gourcuff has met Bordeaux chiefs and told them of his desire to leave the club for Stade Gerland.

Lyon have made a couple of attempts to sign Bordeaux midfield maestro Yoann Gourcuff this summer but there have been no major developments, until recently.

According to L’Equipe, the player has met the club leaders on Saturday, expressing his desire to join Lyon.

Gourcuff seems to have become disillusioned with life at Stade Chaban Delmas after the departure of his mentor Laurent Blanc and the very poor start of the season and he will try to persuade the club management to let him leave the club.

Lyon have reportedly already reached an agreement with the midfielder but they are yet to send a formal offer to les Girondins. Les Gones could invest the money they are set to earn from Real Madrid-bound Michel Bastos to fund the purchase of Bordeaux playmaker.
