Olympique Lyonnais have issued a hands-off warning to Juventus after they recently scouted Moussa Dembele.

Juve scouts were in attendance to watch Dembele help Lyon thrash SCO Angers 6-0 last Friday, with the France Under-21 striker having emerged as a possible alternative to Mauro Icardi.

However, the club’s President Jean-Michel Aulas warned in a tweet: “OL aren’t interested in offers for Moussa, who is the first symbol of OL’s new project!

With Mauro Icardi increasingly implausible, Juventus are turning their focus towards Lyon striker Moussa Dembele, claim French reports.

According to Soccerlink, Juve sent scouts to view the forward when Olympique Lyonnais beat SCO Angers 6-0 in Ligue 1 last night.

The 23-year-old is seen as an alternative to Icardi, who Inter have no intention of releasing to their bitter rivals.

Christian Kouame is in discussions to extend his contract with Genoa after approaches from Sassuolo, Lyon, Marseille, Lille and Borussia Dortmund.

According to Sky Sport Italia, the 21-year-old striker has earned an improved salary after four goals and six assists in his debut Serie A season, not to mention an impressive summer of performances.

He is set to receive €1m net per season until June 2024, as his contract currently runs to June 2023.

Milan look set to resist offers for Suso and Franck Kessie, claim Sky Sport Italia, on the orders of Coach Marco Giampaolo.

According to the latest reports, the Spaniard and Ivory Coast international are now part of Giampaolo’s plans for the season ahead.

They did enough in training and recent friendlies to convince the Coach and club that they should remain.

Suso has been repeatedly linked with a move abroad to Lyon, Sevilla or within Serie A to Roma.

Olympique Marseille, Lyon and Borussia Dortmund are ready to do battle for Genoa striker Christian Kouame, claim reports.

The 21-year-old impressed last term in Serie A with four goals and six assists in 38 games, while he scored some stunners in pre-season too.

According to Le10Sport and Tuttomercatoweb, the Ivorian is about to spark a bidding war.

Marseille have been tracking Kouame for some time, but now face competition from fellow Ligue 1 outfit Olympique Lyonnais and Germans Borussia Dortmund.

Roma are looking to Ligue 1 with reports Robin Olsen will join Montpellier on loan with option to buy, while Steven Nzonzi is open to Lyon.

The Giallorossi are busy dismantling the team put together by former director of sport Monchi.

Goalkeeper Olsen is on the verge of completing his move to Montpellier, on loan with option to buy at the end of the season.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Roma will have to pay a portion of his €1.5m plus bonuses salary during the loan period.

Olympique Lyonnais have confirmed their interest in Suso as it emerges Milan could still sell the Spaniard this summer.

Milan looked to have taken Suso off the market after Marco Giampaolo called him ‘world-class’ following his performance against Manchester United last weekend.

Olympique Lyonnais President Jean-Michel Aulas confirmed Milan star Suso is “one of the players we are looking at.”

The Spain international is trying to adapt in a new trequartista role behind the strikers in Marco Giampaolo’s 4-3-1-2 formation.

He has a €40m release clause in his contract and there are reports he’d be available for €35m, with interest also from Roma and Monaco.

Ligue 1 sides Monaco and Olympique Lyonnais are reportedly on the trail of Milan attacker Suso.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Suso still has not convinced Milan of his long-term worth, despite Marco Giampaolo’s desire to convert him into a No 10.

With that in mind, the newspaper writes the Rossoneri are prepared to sell him for €35m and interest has emanated from France, where Lyon and Monaco are keen.

However, while his agent would have tried to sell him the two clubs, the Spaniard is said to prefer staying in Serie A.

Napoli interest in Nabil Fekir was short-lived, as he arrived today for his €30m plus add-ons transfer to Real Betis.

The Partenopei had been linked with a late bid for the forward, but negotiations with Betis were already at an advanced stage.

His contract with Olympique Lyonnais was due to expire in June 2020, so he was available for a reported €20m plus €10m bonuses and 20 per cent of a future transfer fee.
