Lyon have €18m bid rejected by Sampdoria for Joachim Andersen

Our colleagues at Eurosport FR report that Ligue 1 side Lyon have had an opening €18m bid rejected by Serie A side Sampdoria for Danish central defender Joachim Andersen.

The 23-year-old has admitted that he: “will soon take a decision on his future.”

Sampdoria President Massimo Ferrero has formally fixed a €35m asking price for the centre-back, but the outlet believes that a €30m bid will be enough to convince Samp to part with the player.

Andersen is currently under contract until 2022 and has multiple offers from Italian and English sides.
