It should be mentioned that even though the Lyon chief has a reputation of a tough negotiator he could soften his stance on Aouar.
In fact, he contradicts himself when he mentions that Arsenal need to reach their valuation and then adds that they count on him. Apparently, the midfielder is transferrable and Aulas is just trying to trade the best possible terms of the move.
According to various sources, the Ligue 1 side value their star at around €60m, while Arsenal have lodged a €35m offer.
Just recently, ESPN has released a report saying Lyon are ready to lower the asking price due to lack of suitors in the coronavirus-hit market and will settle for a €40-45m fee.
