Claudio Braga has two years remaining on his contract at Tynecastle and has said that he wants to stay and participate in the Champions League. Hearts is scheduled to face Sturm Graz in a qualifying game later this month. However, The Daily Record reports that a departure appears probable. According to the report, Lyon have joined Ipswich Town and the Turkish club Trabzonspor in showing interest in the forward. The Daily Record also reports that Jamestown Analytics values Braga at between £8m and £10m.

Claudio Braga has been linked with a move to Lyon. According to Record Sport, Jamestown Analytics has valued Braga at between £8 million and £10 million, and the club will only consider a sale at that price. Portuguese outlet Record reports that a deal could be agreed in the near future.

Wouter Vrancken says there have been no concrete developments at this stage regarding interest in Claudio Braga. The player has drawn interest from across Europe, and Lyon is among the clubs linked. Vrancken accepts the summer window could present an opportunity for the 26-year-old to complete a transfer, stating that he thinks it can also be a window when the player wants to make the transfer.

Lyon also admire Hearts' Claudio Braga. Discussions are ongoing between the two clubs, and Hearts are seeking €10m (£8.5m).
