Lyon sporting director Juninho has confirmed in the program OL System the departure of club's captain and star forward Memphis Depay, who made it clear that he will not renew his contract with Les Gones.
"Memphis had his time [here], the president made a lot of efforts to extend him. Memphis wanted a team for himself. This is not a criticism, I had a good relationship with him. But the whole team had to revolve around him, and that's very hard. Because everyone must have the feeling of working the same. There are only four players in the world where you have to do everything for him, Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, if you have one of the two, it must revolve around them. Neymar and Mbappé too. Sorry, I think Memphis is strong, but not at the level of these four." declared the Brazilian.
