Edit: De signerte visst Mohammadou Dabo som erstatter for Cissokho idag. Må vel være et tegn på at Cissokho forsvinner nå snart. Euroen er visst svak nå, og Lyon har minsket budsjettet, som skal være grunner til at Newcastle kan få han for 6,7 mp.
But the fee Lyon were asking for him put Newcastle off, and it?s still said to be around ?8M.
However, with today?s conversion rate, with the Euro being very weak because of the state of the European economy, that?s about £6.7M, and that may be a more reasonable fee for Newcastle to pay.
Jean-Michel Aulas is the president of Olympique Lyonnais, and he had this to say to OLTV today:
?We?ve signed Mouhamadou Dabo to replace Cissokho,?
Lyon have to cut their wage bill, as one of a number of things they are doing to get their financial house in order, and it has been rumored that one of their big players could leave in January.
It seems that Cissokho, who is of Senegalese descent, is the likely player.
