Lazio signs defender Milan Bisevac from Lyon

Looking to bolster an underwhelming backline that has conceded 26 goals in 18 Serie A matches, Lazio has signed centre-back Milan Bisevac from Lyon on a one-and-a-half year contract.

The club did not disclose the financial details of the transfer, according to L'Equipe.

Bisevac, 32, joins the Romans following a four-year spell with Les Gones, where the former Serbian international made 88 appearances for the club during his tenure.

A thrifty purchase in 2012 at €2.75 million, the Kosovan has become surplus to requirements in Genesio's squad, prompting a move, according to a report from L'Equipe.

Bisevac has appeared in only six Ligue 1 matches this season - and none since Nov. 27 - paired with two Champions League defeats to Valencia and Gent, as his usage has dropped steadily since joining Les Gones in 2012-13 from Paris Saint-Germain.
