Lyon are also interested in Favre, but Les Gones do not offer a project that represents a big enough step up for the Swiss to consider leaving Nice when he…

I will do everything for him to stay. I have no doubts, but I have a lot of respect for him… Without a doubt, he will be targeted by the big clubs.
