Lacazette drops Lyon exit hint
France international striker Alexandre Lacazette hinted he could leave Lyon at the end of the season after suggesting on Sunday it was "time for a change of air".
Lacazette has scored 18 goals in just 17 appearances for Lyon in Ligue 1 this season but his future with the seven-time French champions has long been the subject of speculation.
“I think the right time has arrived. I think this summer is the time to change the air and see something else,” Lacazette, 25, said in an interview broadcast on Canal Plus.
Last month Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas spoke of receiving offers of up to 70 million euros ($75.6 million) for the striker during the January transfer window.
Lacazette, voted the French league’s player of the season in 2014-15, confirmed Barcelona had enquired about him last year.
“But that ended because it was not consistent with what I wanted, because what I wanted is to play,” he added.
