Roma have announced that midfielder Clement Grenier has arrived in the Italian capital to complete a medical.
The 26-year-old has only managed four Ligue 1 appearances for Lyon this season, having struggled to break back into the team following a shin injury in September.
He is expected to join Luciano Spalletti s side on an initial loan deal, with Roma reported to have the option of making the move permanent for a €3.5million fee at the end of the season.
France international midfielder Clement Grenier arrived in Rome on Friday, landing at Ciampino airport shortly before 18:00 CET, a Roma statement read.
The Olympique Lyon player, 26, has made more than 150 appearances for Les Gones after emerging from the club s fabled youth academy in 2009.
He will undergo medical evaluations on Saturday.
Speaking this month, Grenier had confirmed a desire to seek first-team football after battling back from a string of injury problems in the last three seasons.
I m hungry to play. I want to play a lot of matches and be useful to the team. I miss all of that, the playmaker said, as quoted by Ligue 1 s official website.
If I can t do that at Lyon, then I ll have to look elsewhere. I m ready to do that to take on a new challenge and get involved in a solid project.
