Olympique Lyon have invited Liverpool to bid for fullback Aly Cissokho.

The 23-year-old French international has admitted he would like to make the move to England - but a deal does not appear imminent.

Bernard Lacombe, who officially special advisor to president Jean-Michel Aulas, and is one of the power brokers behind the scenes at Lyon, says no offer has been made.

"If Liverpool is attracted in Cissokho, they have to come to us," he told L'Equipe.
