Lyon plotting bid for £10m Liverpool defensive target, Reds in talks with agent over summer transfer
Lyon are plotting a move for Fenerbahce defender Simon Kjaer according to reports in Turkey.
Fanatik report that the Ligue 1 giants are plotting a move for the 28-year-old but have yet to make a bid.
Per the source, Lyon have struggled defensively this season and are also interested in signing Liverpool defender Mamadou Sakho.
The Reds want at least £30 million for the France international who has been on loan at Crystal Palace this season.
The latest developments follow fellow French outfit Marseille targeting the Denmark international.

L’equipe reported that Marseille are keen on strengthening their defence with either Kurt Zouma or Kjaer.
Kjaer is no stranger to France having previously played for Lille between 2013-15 before joining Fenerbahce.
The powerful centre-back has also attracted keen interest from Liverpool.
According to AMK, the Reds have held talks with Beck.
The Turkish sports newspaper also report that Liverpool have set aside £10 million for the in-demand centre-back.
The Danish defender has established himself as a star player for Fenerbahce and a fan favourite.
Kjaer does have another two-years remaining on his contract but Fenerbahce will have to sell some of their highest value players in order to raise funds for a planned summer overhaul.
Due to Financial Fair Play constraints, Fenerbahce are limited to what they can spend this summer unless they can sell high value players.
