Alexandre Lacazette comments on Barcelona, Real Madrid talk

In-demand Lyon forward Alexandre Lacazette admits that it would be "tough to say no to Barcelona and Real Madrid".

Lyon forward Alexandre Lacazette has admitted that he would find it difficult to turn down a move to either Barcelona or Real Madrid this summer.

The 24-year-old is currently one of the most in-demand forwards in Europe, having struck 27 league goals for Lyon during the 2014-15 campaign.

A host of clubs have been linked with a move, but the Frenchman has said that he will take his time before making a decision.

"I've not made my decision," he told Le Parisien. "I'm going to go on holiday and leave my agent to discuss it and occupy himself with that. I'm not going to be worried by it.

"As soon as I've decided, I want it to be carried out quickly. It's tough to say no to Barcelona and Real Madrid. But today, it's not a 50-50 case of whether I stay or go, I'm not thinking about it.

"I'll go to the France team and think. I can stay at Lyon and have a bad season as much as I can go and have an exceptional season. It all depends on my destination. If I go to a club with six centre-forwards, it's not the same as if I'm first choice."

Liverpool and Manchester City have also been linked with the striker.
