Lyon management worried as Chelsea, Bayern Munich circle for Fekir

Olympique Lyon management are concerned over Nabil Fekir's stand regarding new contract talks.

With Chelsea and Bayern Munich circling, the OL captain has so far refused to consider negotiations over a new deal.

Tied to Lyon until 2020, Fekir is in contact with Chelsea, while Bayern are also watching developments closely.

OL are reluctant to lose the midfielder with a Champions League knockout tie to navigate, but given his contract situation the board could be forced into a January sale.

Fekir stated a fortnight ago: "My extension? It's a goal the club has set for itself. Now we will see with the president. A departure this summer? No, not for the moment, but you know, in football, nothing is done in advance."
