Memphis Depay, the Dutch 27year-old Lyon right-footed attacker who has an expiring contract and has recently been linked with AC Milan as well as FC Barcelona has posted a message on his social networks in which he clarifies his future. Here are his words:
"It is time for me to take control of my career."
"As I have come to a point where I need to make important choices about my future, I have decided to negotiate my future deals together with my team of trusted confidants, backed by legal experts."
“I will decide about my destination myself. You will be the first to know.”
It remains to be seen where the player will end up as many clubs would be tempted to accomodate the player, as his quality is clear and coming on a free would be a great hit for any club management.
Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas said some time earlier this year that he was confident of persuading Depay to commit to a new deal with the Ligue 1 club.
