Lyon chief Jean-Michel Aulas admits Alexandre Lacazette wants to quit the Ligue 1 club amid interest from Arsenal.
“Today [Monday] our position is that as long as we have not signed his replacement, we will keep him,” he told reporters at Bertrand Traore’s unveiling.
“He expressed the wish to leave and he was given an agreement to go to the club of his heart, but things did not happen.
“He wants to leave. We will discuss it in the coming weeks. If so, offers will be heard, provided they match the value of the player.
