Jeremy Menez linked with France return

AC Milan forward Jeremy Menez is being linked with a summer move back to French Ligue 1, according to L’Equipe.

The 29-year-old has just a year left on his contact at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza and there is a good chance he will be leaving this summer.

After missing a large chunk of the previous season through a hip problem, Menez does not appear to be in the first team plans of new coach Vincenzo Montella and he may be allowed to leave the club.

Several Ligue 1 sides could offer the highly rated attacker an escape route from Italy, although the player has so far rejected an approach from Guingamp.

Jerermy Menez largely impressed in his first season at AC Milan, bagging 16 goals in 33 league outings, but due to said injury problems, he could only make 10 Serie A appearances last season, scoring 2 goals in the process.
