Former Lille owner Gerard Lopez is eyeing Valencia.

L'Equipe says Lopez is considering buying into three clubs - Valencia, Southampton or Genoa. Contact has already been established with Los Che.

Lopez sold his stake in Lille in December.

He is already the current owner of Belgian outfit Mouscron and Portugal's Boavista, as well as the Lotus Formula 1 team.

Lopez also plans to install former Lille sports chief Luis Campos at his new club.
