Olympique Lyon have held talks with Inter Milan over a deal for fullback Fabio Grosso.
The French giants want Grosso as a replacement for new Barcelona signing Eric Abidal and have already tabled a four-year contract to the Italian worth £7 million.
Lyon are also prepared to offer £3.5 million to Inter for Grosso's signing. A deal is likely to depend on Inter's pursuit of Roma defender Cristian Chivu.
