Aulas: Lyon Will Be Happy To Let Depay Go

Lyon president Jean-michel Aulas says they will be glad to let Memphis Depay leave, after he made known his desire to play for a top club.

The Dutchman has played a key role for Lyon, since he joined the club in 2017, scoring 33 goals in 93 appearances.

Depay was labelled a flop after failing to make a mark in United, but has now stated he will like to play for top clubs.

Aulas reacted to Depay’s comments on social media, stating that a summer transfer for the former United man would ‘suit him well’.

“Memphis Depay would like to leave Lyon this summer,” he began.
 

“He comes from MU (Manchester United) to progress to OL. He became a very good European player. He wants to go even higher, in the top 4 and it suits me well.”
