After a busy summer rejecting West Ham and Arsenal bids for Alexandre Lacazette, Jean-Michel Aulas is now having to deal with offers for most of his good players, all likely to be rejected in January.
Lyon are keen to challenge for titles in France, especially with Paris Saint-Germain’s stuttering form, and keeping their best players is key to them doing so.
Invited as a guest on RMC Sport on Monday afternoon, Jean-Michel Aulas revealed that he had around six or seven offers for his players, including Lacazette.
He said: “It’s true that the offers for Alexandre are between €40m and a bit, from West Ham last year, to €70m at the moment.”
Considering Lyon haven’t accepted any of these offers, it seems their asking price appears to be €70m+ at this moment in time, being midway through a season and all.
Whether that will be the case next summer, who knows?
