Napoli are on the verge of sending flop Jesper Lindstrom to Olympique Lyonnais on loan with an option to buy for €20m, claim reports in Denmark.
The 24-year-old was a huge investment last summer, as the Partenopei paid Eintracht Frankfurt €30m plus up to €5m in various add-ons.
He proved to be a total disaster at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, contributing one assist in 29 competitive games and never quite finding a position to play in.
Primarily a trequartista or able to play on either wing, he struggled tactically with the demands of Serie A and simply made no impact in a team that was already struggling in the post-Scudetto campaign.
Napoli take a hit on Lindstrom
According to Tipsbladet in Denmark, a deal has been done to send Lindstrom to Olympique Lyonnais on loan with an option to buy for €20m.
This means taking a potentially big hit on the cost, but there were not many clubs ready to purchase Lindstrom after this season.
Olympique Marseille had also been linked with the Denmark international.
