LYON will not stand in the way of Alexandre Lacazette if he wants to leave the club.
That's according to Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas.
He told OL TV: "If one day there is an opportunity, of course, as we did with Sam [Umtiti] and Abi [Eric Abidal] in Barcelona or Karim [Benzema] in Madrid or further in time with Ludo [Giuly] to Monaco, who left, why not?
"Alex has wanted to play in a great club and Lyon does not object.
"We are perfectly in line."
Aulas was speaking after Lacazette talked up the prospect of a move away from Lyon at the end of the season.
His words may well come as a boost to Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, who has long been credited with interest in the striker.
Arsenal failed with a bid for Alexandre Lacazette last summer
The Gunners had a bid of almost £30m rejected by Lyon last summer.
Lacazette has been in prolific form this season, scoring 18 goals in 17 top-flight outings.
The Frenchman will be out of contract in 2019.
