Lyon president insists that the club will resist any approach for the striker by declaring that even a 50 million will not be enough to sign Lacazette.
Ligue 1 top scorer Alexandre Lacazette is being chased by top European clubs like Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain. However, Lyona s president insists that they will resist any summer move for the forward by demanding more than a 50 million for his signature.
The chairman of the French club, Jean-Michel Aulas, revealed that the club will do everything to keep Lacazette and denied having any contact with the PSG president over the forwarda s transfer.
a Nothing is ever sure in football but we will do everything to keep Alexandre with us,a Aulas told Canal+. a a 50m would not be enough, that is not the price. I have never spoken with [the PSG president] Nasser al-Khelaifi about Alexandre Lacazette and I do not get the feeling, when I listen to Laurent Blanc, that he wants to sign him.a
The 23-year old is the top scorer in the French league having scored 27 goals this season. The striker helped Lyon to the second place in the league, 8 points behind champions PSG with still one more game to go.

Clubs like Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal are in the need to sign a new striker and the 23-year old will fit the bill. However, with Ibrahimovic and Cavani already in the roster, it is highly unlikely that PSG will spend such a huge amount to sign another striker. The French champions also have to cope with the pressure of adhering to the Financial Fair Play (FFP) rules.
