Lyon Places £35m Price Tag on Lacazette

The prolific striker has been linked with a host of clubs following his impressive 2014-15 campaign, but his current club have no intention of selling him this summer. Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas has stressed that Alexandre Lacazette will cost over £35 million if he leaves the club this summer. The 23-year-old has been in sublime form in 2014-15 and currently leads the Ligue 1 goalscoring charts with 27 goals in 33 appearances.

Goal understands that Liverpool hold a strong interest in Lacazette, while Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham have also been linked with potential moves for the striker, though Aulas is desperate to retain his star man.

"We will do everything within our powers to hold on to Alexandre," he told Canal+.

"You never have any certainties in football, but we are determined to keep him here.

"A transfer fee of €50m (£35m) would not be enough for an attacker like him. He is priceless.

"PSG? I have never spoken with Nasser Al Khelaifi about Alexandre. And I never get the impression PSG want him whenever I speak with Laurent Blanc." (Goal)
