Olympique Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas has admitted interest in Manchester City midfielder Samir Nasri.

Nasri is currently on a straight loan with Sevilla for the season.

"I like Samir," Aulas tod L'Equipe.

"We even discussed at a time to see how he could have come to Lyon. But in the end he went to Sevilla."

Aulas could revive his plans at season's end.
