Lyon midfielder Florent Malouda
admits he would consider a move to Arsenal or Juventus.
Malouda is contracted to Lyon until 2011 and is concerned about
moving on ahead of next summer's European Championship, but is
staying open-minded about his future.
He insists he would only leave Lyon for a better club, and has
identified Juventus and Arsenal as the two clubs that would attract
him the most.
"When I signed a contract extension last summer, it was so I would
not be asked about my future during this season," he told France
Football.
"The chairman and I have set a meeting for the end of the current
season, but I have a long-term contract at Lyon.
"I will leave only if I can find better somewhere else, but there
are not so many clubs better than Lyon nowadays.
"Is it really a good idea to leave one year before Euro 2008?
"I am attracted by Italy and the English league.
"Juventus and Arsenal? These are exciting clubs because they have a
past and a culture of their own, but there is nothing concrete with
those clubs.
"It is possible they are following me, but since I play in the UEFA
Champions League I know a lot of clubs are following me.
"Lyon may be stronger next season, in which case I could leave in
2008, after Euro."
Malouda also played down talk of a possible link with Chelsea,
explaining that he was unsure which direction the club was heading
in.
"Could my friend Didier Drogba attract me to Chelsea? There are a
lot of uncertainties there," he said.
"Today can you say Mourinho will still be their coach next
term?"
