    According to Bild, Hertha have offered €8 million for Cornet, but Lyon are holding out for €10 million.

    Things could move quickly if the two clubs manage to find an agreement, with the 24-year-old wide man himself said to be keen on a move to the German capital.

    Cornet, who is capable of playing as a left-back and on the left wing, is under contract with Lyon until 2023.

    In total, the Ivory Coast international has featured 251 times for the French Ligue 1 club, racking up 51 goals and 29 assists.
