Possible cover
The French club have courted the 27-year-old, who won the Prva Liga title with Crvena Zvezda last season, for several weeks as cover for their Greek player Stathis Tavlaridis who could soon be called up for national service.
Intertoto Cup campaign
Vitakic agreed a three-year deal today, but will be ineligible for the Intertoto Cup semi-final second leg against NK Slaven Belupo in Croatia next Wednesday. Lille won the first leg 3-0.
