Chelsea winger Florent Malouda is being linked with a return to Olympique Lyon.
The 30 year-old's form has slipped since December and he could be part of the expected clearout being planned by the Chelsea hierarchy.
Malouda was linked with Spain's Hercules in January, but the Liga minnows do not have the cash power to make the deal happen.
In contrast, both Lyon and Bayern Munich are keen and can afford to cover Malouda's personal terms should he be made available in the summer.
