Grosso won't quit Lyon
Saturday 28 June, 2008

Fabio Grosso has no intention of returning to Italy just yet, as he wants to “win the Champions League with Lyon.”

The Azzurri left-back was one of the stand-out performers for his country at Euro 2008, prompting rumours he was on his way back to Serie A.

“Fabio will certainly remain at Lyon,” explained his agent Danilo Caravello on Goal.com.

“The club wants to win the Champions League and will therefore reinforce the squad. They have no intention of weakening their potential by selling a player like Grosso.”

His Serie A career has been shaky at best, as he impressed when at Palermo before becoming the revelation of the 2006 World Cup.

Grosso had already sealed a transfer to Inter when that tournament began, but lasted only one season with 23 League appearances and two goals.

The 30-year-old also notched up six Champions League games and six in the Coppa Italia during 2006-07.

In his first year at Olympique Lyonnais, Grosso has won the French title.
