Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas has reaffirmed plans not to sell Moussa Dembele this month.
The striker is being linked with Chelsea and Manchester United.
But Aulas, also discussing Lucas Tousart's situation, told RMC: "There too, you peddle a certain amount of information which is not proven, either on the side of Lucas (Tousart) or Moussa (Dembélé)...
"I told you that they would not leave, they will not leave. It would not be opportune when we are looking for a certain number of players, to get rid of our best players."
