Bordeaux line up Boumsong Wednesday 4 July, 2007
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bordeaux are reportedly ready to make an imminent bid for Juventus defender Jean-Alain Boumsong.
New boss Laurent Blanc, formerly a player for Napoli and Inter, wants the stopper who would be available for transfer.
Boumsong only joined the Italian outfit last summer, but may be ready to walk away following the resignation of Didier Deschamps – the tactician who specifically requested him a year ago.
Although he did play a part in the side’s successful Serie B campaign, the fact that the Old Lady are now looking for a new central defender underlines that he still has his doubters within the club.
Boumsong, contracted to Juventus until 2010, hasn’t played in Ligue 1 since he quit Auxerre in 2004 for Rangers and then Newcastle.
Another man who could swap Italy for France this summer is Fabio Grosso of Inter. Lyon want the left-back and talks are scheduled for Thursday.
