Lyon in for Milito

City target Diego Milito is being looked at by French champions Lyon, according to Le Dauphiné Libéré.

The French newspaper reports that Bernard Lacombe, a transfer adviser to president Jean-Michel Aulas, is a big fan of the Argentinian striker and a bid is being seriously considered. New manager Claude Puel wants a new striker and Milito is one of the names being looked at, along with Samuel Eto'o and Ricardo Oliveira.

The article claims that Milito will be allowed to leave by the Real Zaragoza management, although the price of the transfer 'could reach €20million' (£15.8million). This is apparently the amount Zaragoza were looking for when City bid for Milito in January, and is €2million (£1.4million) higher than the sum Diario AS suggested would be sufficient in a report earlier this month (read THIS for details).

At the close of the article City are mentioned, however, (along with Juventus and Tottenham Hotspur) as another potential destination for the player.
