yon have told Liverpool that if they want defender Aly Cissokho, then they need to make a bid.[LNB] The French giants have confirmed that despite intense speculation, Liverpool have not made an offer for the highly-rated left-back.[LNB]The 23-year-old French international has admitted he would like to make the move to England - but a deal does not appear imminent.[LNB]Bernard Lacombe, who officially special advisor to president Jean-Michel Aulas, and is one of the power brokers behind the scenes at Lyon, says no offer has been made.[LNB]"If Liverpool is attracted in Cissokho, they have to come to us," he told L'Equipe.[LNB]Lacombe did confirm that Lyon were no long in a position to pay big fees fro players, which ruled them out of the running for in-demand Sochaux forward Marvin Martin.[LNB]"Marvin Martin? He is between 10million and 14 million euros, it is useless. I had a few phone calls with his agent," he said.[LNB]"He told me the player is attracted to join us. But with such fee, we don't have the right means. Yes it is frustrating. [LNB]"It is the same with Nicolas Nkoulou, who joined Marseille, it was very close. We made efforts to match the l'OM offer but we couldn't."
