Lloris explains Rossoneri refusal
Highly rated French goalkeeper Hugo Lloris has explained his decision to snub Milan to join Lyon.
The impressive 21-year-old custodian had been touted as a possible replacement for the error-prone Nelson Dida between the posts for Milan.
However, Lloris opted to leave Nice for French champions Lyon after considering an offer from the Diavolo.
“Of course Milan were a great opportunity for me,” he told Nogomania.
“We all know that they are one of the best clubs in the world, but everything got complicated about my role in the club.
“They couldn’t guarantee that I will play on a regular basis. And they have six goalkeepers at Milan, so that tells you everything.
“In the end, Lyon came in for me and this club were my big wish. I want to win Ligue 1 and I think this is the best step for me in my career.”
It is believed that Christian Abbiati’s decision to stay at Milan, rather than joining Palermo, will prevent the world champions from signing a new shot-stopper this summer.
