Lyon striker, Alexandre Lacazette, has admitted he is still open to moving to Atletico Madrid, despite the Court of Arbitration for Sport’s (CAS) decision to uphold the La Liga club’s transfer ban.
Atletico cannot register players until January 2018 as a result of CAS’ ruling, leaving Lacazette’s expected switch to Atletico from the Ligue 1 team in doubt.
But the France international says he could still sign for Diego Simeone’s side and be loaned back to Lyon.
“It is possible. This is a case that can not be ruled out,” Lacazette told Eurosport, when asked if he could sign for Atletico Madrid and be loaned back to Lyon.
“I did not about it think too much because the president [Jean-Michel Aulas] said it was not possible. We must prepare for all the contingencies but that is not the plan I would prefer.
“[The Premier League] can be an interesting option, it is a beautiful championship with teams that are interesting. For now, these are only rumours. [Moving to the Bundesliga] would be interesting, Dortmund is a great club.”
