According to the French media "Footmercato", despite the signing agreement with Azmond, Lyon is reluctant to pay a transfer fee of more than 3 million euros due to the expiration of the contract of the Iranian striker and Zenit next summer.
Previously, Azmoun and Lyon had already reached an agreement on personal terms, and when he joined Ligue 1 club, his annual salary could reach 4.5 million euros. In the current situation, Lyon will face some problems signing Azmoun, as The Premier League's Newcastle is also interested in the Iranian striker. Azmoun himself will prioritize Lyon, but it now seems that there are still some variables in his future.
So far this season, Azmoun has played 21 games for Zenit, contributing 10 goals and 4 assists.
