The 26-year-old striker was heavily linked with a move away from Zenit last summer and had offers from several clubs on his table.
Tottenham and Lyon were amongst the clubs who were interested in him last summer, but Azmoun later revealed that the Russian giant blocked his exit.
Azmoun’s contract is set to expire at the end of the season and January could be the last chance for Zenit to recover a transfer from his sale.
And according to French outlet Foot Mercato, Lyon is ready to make another move for him in January.
It has been claimed that the French club is prepared to put in a bid worth €7m to €8m for him in the winter window.
With Azmoun showing no signs of penning a new deal, Lyon is confident that Zenit will be prepared to offload him in January.
