Former France coach Raymond Domenech discussed the possible transfer of Inter defender Diego Godin to Lyon in an interview with French media outlet L’Equipe earlier today.

“Godin is a real player, one who would give Lyon the soul and the rigour, everything the team has been lacking in recent times. And, above all, Lyon lack defenders. Godin is also able to score, he would bring so much to the French club.”

The 34-year-old Godin joined Inter on a free transfer last summer after his contract expired with long time home Atletico Madrid. The Uruguayan defender signed a three-year contract worth €6 million net per season, a high figure that may scare away Lyon, who are unlikely to offer the aging veteran such a high salary.

Godin has struggled to adapt to the tactical system of coach Antonio Conte, being more used to play in a back-four than a back-three. The 34-year-old has even been dropped on occasion for 20-year-old Italian defender Alessandro Bastoni, who has featured more prominently for the Nerazzurri this season than many expected.

Godin has been linked with many top clubs around Europe, including Manchester United and Tottenham, as well as a return to Atletico Madrid, but so far, no offers have arrived.
