And the clubs are fighting over the French national team defender Franck Ribery, but manager Pape Diouf wants to keep the player.
"Our goal is to keep Franck Ribery for the next season and I told that to Jean Michel Aulas (Lyon president), but I know - he is stubborn and will still try to persuade us," said P. Diouf.
"Representatives from Manchester United also approached us, and we told them the same thing, that Franck is not for sale," added P. Diouf.
The talented 23-year-old defender was undoubtedly the best player in Ligue 1 last season and is already being hailed as the next Zinedine Zidane.
F.Ribery recently represented the French national team for the first two times in his career in preparation matches for the World Cup against Mexico and Denmark. According to experts, F.Ribery demonstrated a very promising game in those matches.
