Lyon snub Trez


Lyon have rejected the chance to sign Juventus striker David Trezeguet, choosing Porto's Lisandro Lopez instead.

After selling Karim Benzema to Real Madrid last week, Lyon have been trying to wrap up a deal for his replacement.

Lyon have been repeatedly linked with Trezeguet this summer. However, their interest never turned into anything concrete.

Les Gones have now formally announced the arrival of Lopez, who could cost them as much as £24m depending on his performances.

Juventus would have liked to do a deal for Trezeguet, as they are looking to raise funds so another big signing can be made before the transfer window closes.

However, in a show of their respect for the Frenchman, the Bianconeri are only willing to sell him if the solution is to his liking.

Trezeguet joined Juventus in 2000 and is the most prolific foreign goalscorer in their history.
