Aulas issues Ndombele warning
Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas has warned bidders that his club will only accepts offers of around 80million euros for in-demand midfielder Tanguy Ndombele.
The 22-year-old France international is thought to be attracting interest from across the continent, with Tottenham Hotspur known to be one of the clubs keen on signing Ndombele.
How much is he worth? I do not know, but not just 45million euros.

However, Aulas says he will not be rushed into any decision and will try to ensure that his club gain maximum value should Ndombele move on this summer.
He told RMC: "If I wait another eight days, it (the fee) will be 80million euros.
"Tottenham made us an opening offer worth 45million euros, then we discussed more. Nothing is done I can assure you and we are not in a hurry either.
"Tanguy has shown his qualities with the French national team. He is one of our best players. How much is he worth? I do not know, but not just 45million euros."
Aulas has said earlier in the week: "He has been followed by the big clubs and when they come in, you have to listen.
"We really need substantial proposals to move forward on Tanguy's future, which will eventually require him to leave."
Ndombele has been with Lyon for two seasons, scoring four goals in 98 appearances in all competitions, while he has also won six senior caps for France to date.
Lyon, who recently sold left-back Ferland Mendy to Real Madrid, are 9/1 to win the Ligue 1 title next season, while they are 4/6 to finish in the top three.
