Lyon reportedly want Dedryck Boyata of Celtic.
It has been reported that French club Lyon – who finished third in Ligue 1 last season and will feature in the group stage of the 2018-19 Champions League campaign – are lining up a bid for Celtic defender Boyata.
Italian club Lazio and Premier League side Fulham are also claimed to be tracking the former Manchester City defender – who earns £14,000 per week, as salary, according to The Daily Star.
Impossible task for Celtic?
Boyata’s performances for Belgium at the 2018 World Cup in Russia this summer were very encouraging, and there is no surprise that Lyon, Fulham and Lazio all are reportedly interested the former City defender.
While Celtic are a big club, Scottish football is not exactly ‘great’, and the Hoops are not guaranteed a place in the Champions League next season.
Lyon regularly challenge for the top three positions in Ligue 1, which is a better and more competitive domestic league than the Scottish Premiership.
The lure of Lyon could be too tempting for Boyata, and Celtic’s task of keeping hold of the 27-year-old has just become more difficult.
