Lyon director Bernard Lacombe admits it will be hard to keep French international Hugo Lloris at the club in the summer.

The 24-year-old goalkeeper has been tipped to leave the Stade Gerland at the end of the season with the likes of Arsenal, Juventus and Manchester United believed to be interested in making an approach.

While Lacombe admits the club will do their utmost to keep hold of star striker Lisandro Lopez, he feels a Lloris departure is almost inevitable.

“Sometimes one is obliged to sell certain players and there are people who will surely be leaving the club,” Lacombe told the press.

“We will try to do everything to keep Lisandro Lopez, but it could be complicated for Lloris.

“He came to Lyon to win titles, to be in the France squad, but his reaction at Nice… it’s a sign.”

Lacombe was referring to Lloris’ reaction at Nice when he blasted a number of his team-mates in the dressing room after they conceded two late goals.

The Frenchman has made 30 appearances in Ligue 1 this term with Lyon currently third in the table following their 1-0 loss at Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday.
