Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas has stated that he will not stand in Alexandre Lacazette’s way should Paris Saint-Germain make a move for him this summer, suggesting that the striker is available for the right price.
West Ham publicly had a £31 million offer rejected by the Ligue 1 side in what would have been a club-record transfer for the Hammers.
Lacazette is still being tipped to leave his boyhood club this summer and there is potential that he could move to the French capital.
With PSG losing Zlatan Ibrahimovic this summer, the French champions may well be tempted to make a move for the hotshot forward.
Aulas has admitted that if Laurent Blanc’s men put in a considerable offer Lacazette will be allowed to leave.
“If the PSG wants to win the Champions League and think you need to Alexandre for it, I will not turn my back on that team,” he is quoted as saying by The Daily Star.
“If there is conversation and understanding, the club will not be an impediment.”
This suggests that should Lacazette want to make a move elsewhere, Lyon would not stand in his way – which could well work in West Ham’s favour should they consider another move for the in-form attacker.
