Free agent Mahamadou Diarra could be on his way back to Lyon this summer as the Ligue 1 giants are looking to add some more steel to their midfield ahead of the start of the new season, France Football reports.
New head coach Remi Garde is determined to fight for top honours in 2011-12 after the club missed out on the French league title in the past three seasons and he is said to see the 30-year-old as a good addition to the club's squad.
Lyon face stiff competition in the race for Diarra's signature though as the midfielder is allegedly in talks with clubs from England and Italy about a potential move.
Diarra previously wore the club's jersey from 2002 until 2006 and earned himself a move to Real Madrid following a number of fine performances for the Stade Gerland outfit.
The Mali international left Madrid for Monaco in January 2011, but decided to leave them again this summer following their relegation to Ligue 2 and has since been looking for a new club.
