Olympique Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas says they're yet to close a deal for Roma defender Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa.
Aulas has confirmed they hope to sign the France international this week.
"We are continuing to talk with the Roma for the player, he is a major player that is in the national team," said the OL supremo.
Yanga-Mbiwa left Newcastle United in January for Roma.
Lyon hope to sign the defender from Roma for around €10 million.
