"The figure announced by the English media of around €67m [including €12m in include ons] is unimaginable and not practical," Aulas revealed to Le Progres.
"Arms stockpile's initially offer was around €45m, the exchange will be deduced in the scope of €45m to €50m."

Aulas talked up the expense, saying: "Being near €50m is something one of a kind and will most likely be a record for Arsenal and Lyon too.
"Realizing that, generally, a club like Arsenal – and this is the situation for Bayern Munich likewise – don't contribute such a great amount on a player."
