Free-kick expert admits exit looks likely

Lyon midfielder Juninho Pernambucano has once again indicated that he may not still be with the club next season. The Brazilian's contract runs out in 2010 but he has admitted offers from other clubs have turned his head, with Lyon willing to do business to avoid losing him for free next summer. Strong interest from the Middle East has not been ruled out by Juninho, while a move back to his native country also remains a possibility. Lyon face Caen in Ligue 1's penultimate round of fixtures on Saturday, and with Lyon already out of the title race, Juninho has admitted the game could be his last in front of the home fans. "It is a tendency, but no decision has been made yet," he said. "I can play for another season, I can play my last game against Caen, I do not know yet. "The tendency is for me to leave, because there is already a group that has been here for a long time and there are people capable of assuming my role more easily next season."
