Barcelona target Memphis Depay is also the subject of interest from Roma, Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas has revealed.
Lyon captain Depay is into the final year of his contract with the Ligue 1 club and has been linked with a big move to Barca.
The former Manchester United forward previously worked with new Blaugrana coach Ronald Koeman with the Netherlands.
But Aulas warned a deal with Barca has not yet been done, encouraging Roma’s rival interest.
He told Telefoot: “Memphis’ contract is expiring. Koeman wants him at Barcelona, but there is also Roma in for the player.”
Have a blessed Sunday, don’t forget to tell the people close to you that you love them!

Depay returned from a serious knee injury to feature in Lyon’s run to the Champions League semi-finals, having earlier netted nine goals in only 13 Ligue 1 matches last term.
Last week he scored a hat-trick in Lyon’s first Ligue 1 game of the season as Dijon were beaten 4-1.
The 26-year-old joined Lyon from United for €16million in 2017 and is now reportedly available for just €25m.
