I don't think Lacazette is going anywhere in the foreseeable future. He's helped propel Lyon to the top of the Ligue Un table (1 point ahead of Bielsa's Marseille) with his 23 total goals (21 in the last 21 games no less).
#1, he's locked up until 2018 & #2 Lyon has a new stadium opening up. The club will covet the $$$ that comes with CL play & without him, I don't think that's possible. All the benefits outweigh selling him. Plus I think the club is in decent financial footing so they don't need to sell him.
In other news, the richest man in China, Wang Jianlin (net work $14.2 bil) has bought a 20% stake in Atletico Madrid. In addition to the €40 mill purchase price for the stake, he's also investing another €45 mill into the club. This move should help Atleti stay at the elite level it's been playing at & not be forced to sell off it's best players.
Like I said before, I don't think Cholo will leave this club any time just yet. He's invested too much into this club just to up & leave now. Maybe in another 2-3 years...
