French champions Lyon have claimed that Juventus have been in touch regarding a potential swoop for Cris and another unidentified player.
“Juventus contacted Cris and another Lyon player, making them a few offers,” noted President Jean-Michel Aulas.
“However, I have met with Cris and he has told me he wants to stay here. Therefore we will continue talks over his contract extension,” added the French chief whose club have just won a sixth successive Ligue 1 crown.
“Juventus made an enquiry three weeks ago in which they offered a swap deal, but we turned them down. Cris is not for sale and this issue for me is closed.”
It’s understood that the other player targeted was midfielder Alou Diarra who has caught the eye of Bianconeri sporting director Alessio Secco [pictured].
Diarra has had a tough season in Lyon, but may opt to remain after boss Gerard Houllier – whom he had a frosty relationship with – resigned last week.
Reports suggest that the Juve player included in the potential swap deal might have been David Trezeguet, who has just one year left on his contract.
