Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas has insisted that the club are yet to reach an agreement with Atletico Madrid over Arsenal and Liverpool target Alexandre Lacazette.
The 25-year-old striker has confirmed that he will be leaving Lyon in the summer and Atletico Madrid are currently leading the chase for the player, who has also been on Liverpool and Arsenal’s radar.
The Spanish outfit are yet to receive a clean chit from the Court of Arbitration for Sports over their transfer ban but the club are confident about their chances and Lacazette is their top target for the transfer window.
There have also been suggestions that the Spanish giants have already agreed terms with Lyon, but Aulas has rejected the notion and insisted that despite discussions, nothing has been agreed or signed between Lyon and Atletico Madrid.
The Lyon president told French radio station RMC: “There is no agreement with Atletico Madrid.
