Manchester City’s out-of-favour defender Jason Denayer is close to completing a move to the Ligue 1 side Lyon.

Turkish Super Lig champions Galatasaray have been closely linked with a move for the Belgium international over the summer. However, the Lions have been unable to strike a loan-deal agreement with Manchester City.

The Citizens are keen on selling Denayer on a permanent deal. According to the French outlet L’Equipe reporter Bilel Ghazi, Lyon has won the race to sign Denayer.
