Key Takeaways
- FC Lorient want €25 million for Pablo Pagis, rejecting lower offers from French rivals.

- The forward has scored 10 goals this season, including a recent strike against Paris Saint-Germain.
FC Lorient have set a price tag of €25 million for their top scorer Pablo Pagis. The French club want this amount even though two big teams have shown interest in the 23-year-old striker.
Olympique Lyonnais and Lille OSC both hope to sign Pagis. The two clubs are fighting for a place in the top three of Ligue 1. That position would give them a spot in the UEFA Champions League next season. Both teams believe €15 million is enough to buy the player. However, Lorient disagree with this valuation.
The club from Brittany recently got new owners. Black Knight Football Club, who also own Bournemouth, now control Lorient. They wait for a better offer. Pagis has been the best player for Les Merlus this term. He has found the net 10 times and set up three goals for his team-mates. His strike against Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday showed his class.
