Lyon is not responsible for the failure of the negotiations with Newcastle on the transfer of Bafetimbi Gomis. This is what seems to explain the president of Lyon, Jean-Michel Aulas, very active on Twitter.

While it was said yesterday that the requirements of the Gones were the reason for the withdrawal of the Magpies, Aulas wanted to reframe things in a reply to a tweet from Pierre Menes – exchange reported by sports365 – who raised up against the fact . “OL refuses an offer of € 8 million of Newcastle for Gomis. And after they will say that it is the player who is not respectful?? “Posted the consultant on Canal +.

Depending on the response of Lyon president it is the Franco-Senegalese striker who himself aborted the transaction by refusing to reduce his salary. “(…) It was Newcastle who asked Bafé to make an effort of 3 000 Euros on his weekly salary of € 70,000. If you do not know… “he replied.
