The Miroslav Klose transfer saga which has been dubbed ‘a game of poker’ has taken a new twist with one of the ‘players’ apparently folding.
It was revealed by Klose himself earlier in the week that Olympique Lyon had entered the race to sign him from Bremen.
The move was to be part of a deal that could take Alou Diarra to the Weser Stadion.
However, the French Champions' interest in the German international striker seems to have cooled.
Their prime target is David Trezeguet, who has stated his clear intention of leaving Juventus.
Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas is very keen to bring the Juve striker back to France.
Juve, in turn, are now after Lyon midfielder Tiago, so could themselves use Trezeguet as a bargaining chip.
All that, however, means that there are just two players remaining at the table for the jackpot that is Miroslav Klose: Werder and Bayern.
