Valencia open talks with Lorient for striker Kevin Gameiro - report
Prolific attacker Kevin Gameiro appears to be on his way out of Ligue 1 outfit Lorient this summer as La Liga side Valencia have opened talks with the French club to discuss a possible transfer, RMC reports.
The Mestalla club are looking for a new striker to partner Roberto Soldado up front next season, and consider the 24-year-old to be the perfect addition to their front line.
The Spanish outfit were close to signing Gameiro in the January transfer window, but eventually refused to meet Lorient's €10 million asking price.
However, they are still keen to lure the striker to the Primera Division and have now recommenced negotiations.
Gameiro started his professional career with Strasbourg before joining Lorient in the summer of 2008, and there the France international has developed into the Ligue 1 side's undisputed star player.
He has also been linked with clubs such as Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, AC Milan and Villarreal in the past couple of months, but Valencia now appear to be sitting in pole position to secure his services.
