Toulouse rule out Gignac exit

Toulouse rule out Gignac exit

Toulouse president Olivier Sadran maintains star striker Andre-Pierre Gignac will not be sold to Ligue 1 rivals Lyon.

Les Gones have made France international Gignac one of their top priorities this summer - and the player has revealed he would like to sign for the deposed champions.

Lyon are believed to have made an increased offer of 15 million euros for Gignac over the weekend, having already had a bid turned down last week.

But Sadran has said Gignac is not for sale and insists he will maintain his stance.

"I have said no (to transfers) several times in my life. When I say no, I mean no," he told L'Equipe.

Lyon, who late on Saturday night completed the signing of striker Lisandro Lopez from Porto for an initial fee of 24m euros, are also continuing their chase for Nice forward Loic Remy.

Remy was sold to the southerners by Lyon last summer for 8m euros, but Les Gones could be willing to buy the 22-year-old back for around twice that fee.
