'It suits me if he leaves this summer' - Lyon president happy to grant Depay transfer wish

Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas insists he is happy to sanction Memphis Depay's summer departure after the attacker expressed his desire to leave for one of Europe's top clubs.

The 24-year-old has played a vital role for the Ligue 1 giants since his transfer from Manchester United back in January 2017, scoring 33 goals in 93 appearances across all competitions.

Depay has successfully bounced back from his ill-fated two-year spell at Old Trafford , which saw him branded as a major flop after failing to establish himself in the first team under Jose Mourinho.
