Manchester United have reportedly joined the race for Moussa Dembele , as both they and Chelsea weigh-up offers of over £40million.
The striker returned to his homeland from Celtic in the summer of 2018, with the Hoops guaranteed a percentage of any future sale.
With Chelsea said to be keen to sign him they could be in line for a big windfall in January, and Le Parisien is reporting that Manchester United are also keen.
The newspaper reports that both clubs are ready to offer around €50m (£42.6m) of which Celtic would be due around 10 per cent.
With both clubs said to be interested, competition for Dembele's signature could drive the eventual fee even higher.
However, the Ligue 1 club have publicly stated that they do not want to sell in January.
In a statement, they said: "Olympique Lyonnais has taken note of certain information relayed by the media suggesting that Moussa Dembélé could interest other clubs during this transfer window.
"OL would like to reaffirm its wish, as in the summer of 2019, to keep Moussa Dembélé.
"The club has full confidence in Moussa and counts in particular on him to build a successful team for the seasons to come."
