Apparently Aulas said in a press conference that Arsenal have made a "nice bid" for Lacazette, but he will not let him leave. Phew! Bullet dodged if that's true (although I suspect he is just going for a higher price). He also confirmed that a deal was agreed with Atletico before their transfer ban.

The other day Aulas said he was willing to sell him to PSG. He's playing us the cunt.

It's also a bit of a contradiction to confirm that you agreed to sell him (to Atletico) while at the same time suggesting you're not willing to sell him.

There's a piece on l'equipe (https://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Actualites/Jean-michel-aulas-lyon-la-question-du-depart-de-lacazette-est-embetante/811055) explaining this. Lacazette has been authorised to leave for the right transfer fee, and a deal was done with Athletico until their transfer ban. In the meantime, Lyon sold Tolisso to Milan for >40M Euros, so they don't need money anymore, and Lacazette slots back into Lyon's needs. So, Aulas is not against Lacazette leaving as he has given him the nod to do so, but now, he'd rather he stayed as he's contracted until 2019...

Aulus was misquoted. He didn't mention arsenal at all in his statement

BWoolley

Oh wow - wasn't he talking at a player unveiling? How does the word "Arsenal" get into a statement without being mentioned - hilarious. What did he actually say?

Apparently, this is the correct version (he doesn't mention Arsenal):

[size=small]Speaking in the unveiling press conference of left-back Marçal, Lyon President Jean-Michel Aulas discussed the future of Alexandre Lacazette.

He's better than Welbeck right? Then sign him.

Had read something that our efforts to sign him last summer pissed them off because we refused to come close to their valuation, and that they basically don't want to deal with the club whilst AW still retains control over transfers.

Report also adds that Wenger is personally involved in convincing Lacazette and the player is interested. Agreement could be found soon Lequipe also add that its between Arsenal and Altletico Madrid. Fee could be around €50m - €60m

RMC - Arsenal and Lyon are expected to meet early next week to finalise the deal for Lacazette.RMC - In the last few hours, discussion for the transfer of Lacazette to Arsenal has accelerated. Arsenal have made a bid of around €50m

Death of a dream (Mbappe) and the realization of reality. Fuck it, I'll take it. might as well spend 60mil gambling that he'll more than a French Walcott than do nothing.

Alexandre Lacazette fait l’objet de discussions avancées entre son club formateur, l’OL, et Arsenal. Les Gunners offrent 50 M€ pour l’attaquant français (26 ans, 11 sélections).

Les discussions se sont accélérées ces dernières heures pour Alexandre Lacazette. Arsenal a transmis une offre avoisinant 50 M€ pour l’attaquant français de 26 ans (11 sélections). Une proposition qui répond aux exigences de l’OL et de son président, Jean-Michel Aulas.

Les positions se sont sensiblement rapprochées. Un rendez-vous est prévu en début de semaine prochaine entre les deux clubs pour finaliser le transfert, selon une source proche du club anglais.

I call houseboat on this.

Surprised how sullen people are. If this is true, we have a chance to take the 2nd highest goal scorer in Lihue 1, a man who finished behind only Cavani, and ourscored Falcao, Gomis and a young Mbappe by a huge amount. A mobile guy who can help us be faster and less predictable. If this happens, I'd be ecstatic. And if you get him and no Mbappe, you still have another 60m pounds for an exceptional midfielder.

One part of me thinks: play it safe and bring in Lacazette and Fabinho. Would be a massive improvement on what's happening right now. Better that than a late season scramble once Mbappe falls through. If we don't have an Mbappe by end June, we need to be practical and try to get a functioning team before Community Shield.

QuincyAbeyie

But how much more than the rumoured 60m for Lacazette would you have to pay to get a much better striker in Aubameyang?

Claudius

Is Aubameyang even interested in our ragtag outfit? This isn't a trip to Costco with strikers on the shelf. We have struggled to buy a number nine for four seasons. Here's a very consistent scorer over the last three seasons in the 4th strongest league in Europe. If take him, bring in a midfielder, throw crazy money at Sanchez and see what Ozil does
