Olympique Lyon president Jean Michel Aulas is moving for Crystal Palace defender Mamadou Sakho.
The former PSG captain has revived his career at Selhurst Park over the last 18 months.
L'Equipe says Aulas is eager to bring Sakho back to Ligue 1, though accepts his wage demands could be out of reach.
The defender admits he feels ready for a France recall after being wrongly banned from the 2016 Euros for a since wrongly proved failed drugs test.
Sakho has stated he's happy at Palace, though the opportunity to again compete for Champions League football could tempt him.
