Lyon’s Jean-Michel Aulas keeps on talking
Another weekend, another set of quotes from Lyon’s outspoken president Jean-Michel Aulas.
Aulas spoke to Canal+ on Saturday to post a couple of transfer news updates.
For more than a month, rumours have linked Nabil Fekir with a move from Lyon to Liverpool.
At the same time, OL defender Marcelo has been linked with a possible move to West Ham.
Nabil Fekir & Liverpool
Starting with Fekir and Liverpool, Aulas is confident the French World Cup winner is staying put:
I do not think that Fekir will leave. He’s one of the best in France – and in the world, since he’s a world champion. He’s a Lyonais, so he’ll be there next season.
But then Aulas dropped the caveats:
Although in football, nothing is ever certain. I haven’t had the impression that he absolutely wants to leave.
He’s 90% going to be at Lyon next season. If he hasn’t left by the end of July, he’ll stay.
It’s not the size of the offer that will make us change our position on Fekir, but the wishes of Nabil himself.

Marcelo & West Ham
West Ham have been linked with a move for Lyon’s Brazilian defender Marcelo this summer. Marcelo move to the Ligue 1 side a year ago for £6m.
The rumours are that West Ham would offer £18m for the South American.
However, reports out of France on Saturday are that Marcelo is also set to remain at Lyon in 2018-19.
BTW, central defender Marcelo, strongly linked with West Ham, is also due to stay at Lyon.
