Lyon coach Genesio admits interest for Roma midfielder Iturbe

Olympique Lyon coach Bruno Genesio is chasing Roma midfielder Juan Manuel Iturbe.

Iturbe is available from Roma for next month.

“As I've said before, if anyone comes in it'll be a competitive player who brings something to the team," said Genesio.

“The ideal would be to have a versatile attacker who can supply Alex [Lacazette], but who is also capable of taking up a position on the wing.

“Iturbe? Yes, he could correspond to that.

“Is it a problem that he's cup-tied for the Europa League? Yes and no. We have the Europa League, but there will be other matches to play. We know we'll need an extra player.

“He could be the right profile, but there will also be other profiles."
