Monaco manager Leonardo Jardim has admitted that Monaco cannot guarantee keeping hold of Arsenal target Thomas Lemar, according to a report by the London Evening Standard.
In a press conference, Jardim said: "All the players who were important last season are important to keep for the club.But it has been shown over the years that it's not always possible to keep the players, and you know how our project works.
"So our goal is to work well with players who will stay here after the transfer window closes.”
Sky Sports Transfer Centre reported that Arsenal were still in talks with Monaco over Lemar's signature.
The update also stated: "It is thought Arsenal may need to break their transfer record AGAIN to have any chance."
Monaco had already confirmed that they had rejected two bids from Arsenal for the 21-year-old during this window, and that they considered him essential to their plans for the upcoming season.
