Report: Lyon agree Mathieu Valbuena deal

Lyon have reportedly agreed a deal to sign French international Mathieu Valbuena from Dynamo Moscow.

The ex-Marseille star is believed to be unhappy in Russia after Dynamo failed to secure European football for this season.

According to Canal +, OL have moved nearer to completing a transfer for the 30-year-old after an offer of around €7m (£5m) was accepted.

It is thought that Valbuena may need to take a pay cut in order to facilitate a move back to Ligue 1, but the potential stumbling block of wages has been overcome.

Valbuena has made 48 appearances for France since making his international debut in May 2010.
