Lyon head coach Hubert Fournier has accused Paris Saint-Germain of attempting to destabilise his forwards Alexandre Lacazette and Nabil Fekir.
Ligue 1's top scorer Lacazette and Fekir have played key roles in Lyon's title bid and both players have been linked with moves to PSG in recent weeks, but the reports of interest from the French champions have angered Fournier.
"It is quite simply destabilisation," the Lyon boss told L'Equipe. "We hope it does not have an impact on the players but it is very destabilising. We will speak to them about it but they are big boys.
"This is one of the things you expect at the end of a season when you are competing for a title.
"I do not expect them to leave, the president (Jean-Michel Aulas) has been quite firm on that and we are not going to go back over it."
Lyon are currently three points behind PSG with three games remaining.
