President Jean-Michel Aulas has confirmed that Chelsea striker Bertrand Traore is in Lyon to make a move to the Ligue 1.
The Chelsea man is not part of Antonio Conte's plans for next season and has decided to leave Stamford Bridge to enjoy regular first-team football elsewhere.
Aulas declared that the two clubs are very close to reaching a financial agreement.
"Nothing has been signed," Aulas he told L'Equipe.
"But it is close. He arrived last night in Lyon, there is a little exclusive for you… I am going to return immediately after the assembly to talk with him and his brother David.
"With Chelsea, we are basically in agreement; I cannot speak about it [the fee], because it has not been entirely finalised.
"There are several options. And as we are a club that is listed on the stock exchange, we have to have everything very turned out. But the fee is very considerable."
