​Man Utd target Dembele turns down Lyon contract offer

French striker Moussa Dembélé has turned down a final contract renewal offer from Lyon.

The attacker, who is being linked to Manchester United and other clubs across Europe, is out of contract next summer.

According to L'Equipe, he does not want to extend with the Ligue 1 giants, hoping to continue his career elsewhere.

Manager Peter Bosz has made it clear that Dembélé will be second choice this season behind Alexandre Lacazette.

The forward wants a place in the French World Cup squad, and is not willing to play second fiddle behind Lacazette.

He would ideally want to move before the transfer window closes at the end of this month.
