Manchester City defender Eliaquim Mangala in talks over a move to Lyon

Manchester City defender Eliaquim Mangala is discussing a move to Lyon.

The France international joined City from Porto for £42million and City are looking to recoup around £18m now.

Mangala still has two years left on his contract and spent last season on loan at Valencia though they failed to take up their option of making the move permanent.

Lyon are understood to be keen to sign Mangala on an initial loan but City want to sell to help offset their other spending.
