Reports emanating from France suggest Lyon could make a move to sign Liverpool's Djibril Cisse.
French radio station Europe 1 claims Lyon are weighing up a bid for Cisse to bring him back to Ligue 1.
Cisse's future at Liverpool has been the subject of intense speculation for most of the season as he has struggled to hold down a regular place in Rafa Benitez's side.
Lyon boss Gerard Houllier is a big admirer of Cisse, having brought him to Liverpool in the first place, and he would be keen to bring him to Stade Gerland next season.
It remains to be seen what Liverpool decide to do with Cisse with the player saying earlier this week he was happy to stay at Anfield.
"Things are settled for me. I have three years left at Liverpool and that is where I envisage my future to be," said Cisse.
Benitez is thought to be in the market for new strikers and he could be tempted to sell Cisse if Lyon meet their asking price for the French international.
