One of the main stars, Juninho, announced that he wants to stay in the team until the end of his career.
The Brazilian with special talent plays a very important role in the club "Olympique". It was his successful game that was one of the reasons for "Lyon's" success this season. "Olympique" footballers currently hold the 1st place in the French "Ligue 1" championship and today, at 21:45 Lithuanian time, they will face FC in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals.
Juninho's contract expires in 2006, so the player is satisfied being able to continue competing in this club.
"I have already started to think about the end of my career," said the 28-year-old Brazilian to the newspaper L'Equipe. "I don't intend to play for another ten years, but I hope to compete for at least the next 4 seasons."
"If club president Aulas agrees to extend my contract for at least two years, I will be very happy, because I want to finish my career in Lyon."
Despite everything, the player admits that his dream club is AC Milan.
"The Milan team is my dream," Juninho continued. "But I am very happy at the moment and I don't want to go anywhere."
"Of course, if the president doesn't want to keep me, I will have to look for another club."
