Nzonzi nearing Trigoria exit door, Lyon interested

Corriere dello Sport has reported that Steven Nzonzi is likely to depart Roma this summer. The Frenchman did not appear at Villa Stuart along with the rest of his teammates to undergo his preseason medical examination yesterday. Meanwhile, the ex-Sevilla midfielder was pictured today on a flight from Paris to Geneva. Lyon is interested in the player and have initiated contact with the agent-father of Nzonzi. Roma are monitoring and waiting for updates on the situation. No official offers have arrived but both the Giallorossi and Nzonzi are hoping a deal can be closed quickly – even on the basis on a loan with an opportunity to make the deal permanent.
