Jurgen Klopp’s side signed the diminutive former Bayern Munich and Inter Milan star from Stoke in 2018 and he quickly became a useful squad player, frequently coming off the bench and having an impact.
The 30-year-old left Anfield with a record of eight goals in 63 appearances in all competitions, having won a Premier League, Champions League, Super Cup and Club World Cup title.
However in just over a dozen games for his new club, which have only brought one goal, Lyon have reportedly decided they are willing to let him go.

The 98-cap Switzerland international signed a bumper three-year contract to 2024 worth a reported £300,000 per month.
Given the club’s financial issues, moving him on could be a prudent move for Peter Bosz’s side.
After finishing fourth in Ligue 1 last season, struggling Lyon currently lie 13th in the league table, closer to second-bottom Lorient in 19th than Montpellier in fifth, the final European qualifying spot.
