Lyon president speaks publicly on potential Memphis Depay transfer

Olympique Lyonnais president Jean-Michel Aulas has spoken about Memphis Depay, the captain of his club, who is out of contract in the summer and heavily linked with a move to FC Barcelona.

“I haven’t got a bad word to say about him. I will respect his decision. If he goes to a bigger club than Lyon, he’ll have made the right choice,” said Aulas.

“If he stays, it will mean we’ve been a great adventure for him and we have won something.”

Lyon are currently third in Ligue 1, three points behind Lille and Paris Saint-Germain.
