Lyon are weighing up a move for Aston Villa striker Milan Baros, manager Gerard Houllier has revealed.
The 25-year-old Czech striker played under Houllier at Liverpool and the Frenchman told the Lyon website: "I can confirm that I have met Baros' agent."
Baros was still at Anfield when he turned down a Lyon offer in 2005.
Houllier said then he wouldn't bid again for the player but he has now reconsidered, saying: "Only idiots never change their minds."
Ligue One leaders Lyon have been hampered by injuries this season.
And Houllier, who signed Baros to Liverpool in December 2001 said: "We need to recruit and I'm glad the club is now working in that direction."
