Barcelona was interested in Lisandro Lopez

Asked about the rumours saying that Barcelona was interested in him earlier this summer when he was still playing for Porto, Olympique Lyon forward and Argentine international Lisandro López (26) has confirmed the interest in an interview with French newspaper Le Progrès:

"My agent had several contacts, but I'm not interested in what could have happened. Lyon very quickly lead the race for my services and showed a lot of interest.

They really wanted me and that was more important than having the certainty to play the Champions League, because of Lyon having to play a qualifying games in August."
