Lyon president says Memphis Depay will not leave in January

Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas has insisted Memphis Depay will be staying at the Ligue 1 side until the end of the season despite rumors of a January exit.

The rumor mill reckons Barca will try again for Depay when the window reopens even though they are in a pretty tricky financial situation.

Aulas has now had his say about the situation and does not think the Netherlands international will be going anywhere.

“We have a lot of internationals for different countries, including Memphis, who is a leader. Memphis, I’m not in love with him but I think he can bring to Lyon a dimension that everyone wants the club to have.
