"Lyon" president: we are ready to sell Lacazette

"Lyon" president Jean-Michel Aulas hinted that he will not stand in Alexandre Lacazette's way if he wants to leave the club.

The 25-year-old striker has been constantly linked with various European giants, and earlier admitted that he wants to move elsewhere at the end of the season, mentioning "Barcelona."

Lyon also rejected an offer from London's "Arsenal" for the Frenchman in the summer, but now the situation will be different.

"If an opportunity arises one day, of course, like we did with (Samuel Umtiti - ed.) and (Eric Abidal - ed.), who moved to Barcelona, or Karim (Benzema - ed.), who moved to Madrid, or even earlier with (Ludovic Giuly - ed.), who moved to Monaco. Why not?" - Aulas told OL TV.

"Alex wants to play in a big club, and Lyon doesn't oppose that. We want the same."

Lacazette, who has scored 17 goals in 18 "Ligue 1" matches this season, is also performing excellently.
