Lyon have been in contact with Inter defender Diego Godin’s entourage to discuss a possible deal, according to a report from Italian media outlet Calciomercato.com earlier today.

The report details how the 34-year-old Uruguayan joined the Nerazzurri on a free transfer last summer, signing a three-year deal, but he could already be on the way out, only one season after arriving. The former Atletico Madrid man has disappointed in Milan, not properly adapting to the tactical system of coach Antonio Conte.

Lyon have been in contact with his agents to discuss a possible move, the report continues, as they consider him the ideal player to reinforce the department, which is missing a leader.

Inter would be happy to let the player leave for free in the summer, as his departure would save them around €20 million in total. The only issue is that Lyon cannot afford his €5 million net salary, and so the player must decide whether to accept a wage drop or stay in Milan and try to improve his standing.
