Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas has stressed that he will do everything in his power to keep Arsenal and Liverpool target Alexandre Lacazette at the club.

Though the player until recently denied any rumours of leaving Lyon, he chose to remain coy when he was asked about his future at the club earlier this week.




Lacazette was recently voted the French Player of the Year for his performances for Lyon this season, where he bagged 27 Ligue 1 goals to drag the club to the runners-up spot behind Paris Saint-Germain.

With clubs such as Arsenal and Liverpool interested in the forward, Aulas is aware that he will have to do a lot of fire fighting to keep him at the club this summer.
 


The Lyon president is aware of the difficulties he will have to face to keep hold of a talent such as Lacazette but insisted that he is going to do everything possible to keep the French international at the club.

Speaking to Canal +, Aulas said: “You are never sure of anything in football but I feel Alexandre will stay with us.

“Even €50m is not enough for him as he is priceless.”

On the rumoured interest of PSG in the forward, the Lyon supremo said: “I never talked about Lacazette with Nasser Al-Khelaifi [PSG president] and I do not think [PSG manager Laurent] Blanc has asked for him.”
