Lille and Nice seem particularly interested in 21 year old midfielder Anthony Mounier, whose contract with O.L. will expire in 2010 and who seems to have not many chances to play in Claude Puel's squad.
O.L. chairman Jean-Michel Aulas has declared: "We are in the first place of the Ligue 1 since the beginning of the season, but this year is going to be harderm PSG, Bordeaux and Toulouse can still give us some problems. Regrets about the Champions League? No, because at the moment a French club, even if important like O.L., cannot compete with English, Italian or Spanish clubs, because in France the resources from the televisions are equally divided. Problems with Juventus? I admit that after the Boumsong case there have been some problems, but now we are again in good terms with Alessio Secco and Jean-Claude Blanc, two good executives. The problems are part of the past. If we have talked about Trezeguet? Yes, I can't deny it, but not recently. Two and a half years ago we were tracking him but then nothing happened. A possibility for the future? I have not talked about it with Juventus, and first I should listen our trainer. If Y like him? Who doesn't? Of course he would be a great striker, but don't forget that we already have Karim Benzema..."
