Clément Grenier (French pronunciation: [klemɑ̃ ɡʁənje]; born 7 January 1991) is a French professional footballer who plays for Serie A side Roma, on loan from Ligue 1 club Lyon and the France national team. He has also represented France across all youth levels. He is known for his technical ability, dribbling, and free-kick taking. Grenier plays in the center midfield, as well as in the attacking midfield position just behind the striker.
Grenier began his career with his hometown club FC Annonay starring with the club's under-9 team. He helped the club reach the departmental final of the National Cup for under-9 players. Grenier later drew interest from Lyon, whose scouts informed the youngster to continue his great play in order to join the club at a later date. In July 2002, he secured a move to Lyon, joining the club's youth academy.
Grenier continued his development, becoming one of the club's best prospects. He attracted interest from Spanish club Real Madrid, English clubs Arsenal and Chelsea, and Italian club Internazionale, whose scouts likened the player to Brazilian international Kaká. Despite the interest, Grenier along with fellow youth player Yannis Tafer, signed his first professional contract on 15 May 2008, agreeing to a three-year deal.
