‘Lisandro Lopez close to Juve’

By Football Italia staff

Juventus have turned up the heat in their pursuit of Lyon forward Lisandro Lopez, reports the Corriere dello Sport.

The Argentine is one of a number of strikers who have been linked with a January move to the Italian champions.

Although it is believed that Lyon recently refused the Old Lady’s bid to take him on loan, the scenario may now have changed.

A report this afternoon suggests that the Bianconeri could be very close to making a breakthrough for the South American.

Lopez, 29, joined his current French club in 2009 after spending four years in Portugal with Porto.
