For five seasons in a row, a club in France that does not have equals continues to strengthen - the team has signed a contract with Alou Diarra, the safety of the French national team.

Diarra is expected to replace his namesake Mahamadou Diarra in the Lyon team, who officially moved to a Madrid club a few days ago. It is reported that "Lyon" paid 7 million euros for the player and signed a four-year contract with him.

"It is a great honor for me to represent the champions of France," Diarra said with joy.

The 25-year-old defender is considered one of the most talented French players of his generation. Diarra has played 11 matches for the national team, including the matches in this year's World Cup in Germany, where the French team lost in the final only after an 11-meter penalty shootout to the Italian team.

Meanwhile, "Lens" has already rushed to find a replacement for one of their leaders. It is believed that the most realistic contender to join the Lens team is the young talent from "Crvena Zvezda", Milan Bisevac.
