Lyon rejected €35m Arsenal offer for Lacazette
Lyon have confirmed that they have rejected Arsenal’s €35 million bid for Alexandre Lacazette. Previously, Le Progres stated that the Wenger’s side had tabled a €48m offer.
However, the Ligue 1 side have insisted the bid was significantly lower: “Lyon categorically deny having received an offer of €48m from Arsenal for Alexandre Lacazette. The club laments Le Progres’ decision not to contact the club before publishing this false information, which causes confusion on the day Lyon publishes its annual financial figures.”

The statement added: “The reality is that Arsenal have tabled an offer of €35m, which Lyon have not acted upon for one reason. Lyon will hold on to Alexandre Lacazette because he is irreplaceable and one of the key figures in Bruno Genesio’s squad.”
Recall that previously Arsene Wenger has said Arsenal are ready to “spend big” if the right opportunity comes along,
Lacazette has scored 21 goals in 34 matches to help Lyon to second place in the table.
The player’s contract with Lyon runs until June 2019.
