Lyon back in for Baros

Aug 8 2005

By Chris Bascombe, Liverpool Echo

MILAN BAROS is edging closer to the Anfield exit as French duo Monaco and Lyon battle for his signature. The Czech striker could leave within the next 48 hours, with former boss Gerard Houllier re-igniting his interest in the £7m rated striker. Houllier is keen to pair Baros with John Carew and the lure of Champions League football is thought to be tempting the 23-year-old. Monaco, who play in a Euro qualifier this week, have also registered their interest although no firm bid has been made. Story continues ADVERTISEMENT Anfield officials say interest in the forward has increased over the weekend and a move abroad is the most likely outcome after Premiership duo Aston Villa and Everton dropped out of the chase. Baros has again been withdrawn from the squad travelling to Bulgaria tomorrow as his future looks to be resolved. Funds from the Baros transfer have already been set aside to pay for a new centre-half, although the Reds' chase for Deportivo's Jorge Andrade is likely to end in frustration. The Spanish side insist their defender is not for sale.
