New Zealand rugby store<\/a> <\/p>\nMemphis Depay has added weight to the rumours linking him with a move away from Lyon by expressing his desire to join “a bigger club”.<\/p>\n
The 24-year-old, who signed for Lyon from Manchester United in January 2017 for an initial \u20ac16 million (\u00a314m\/$18.5m), is reportedly a target for AC Milan after a successful 2017-18 season at Groupama Stadium.<\/p>\n
Memphis scored 19 goals in 36 Ligue 1 appearances to help the club finish third and earn a return to the Champions League, but he is keen to leave Bruno Genesio’s side and find success with one of Europe’s top teams.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I’m happy at the moment,” Depay told reporters after Lyon’s International Champions Cup match against Chelsea.<\/p>\n
“Of course I want to make the step to a bigger club but we will see when that is.”<\/p>\n
Memphis\u00a0was disciplined by Lyon after failing to report for pre-season training on time, leading to increased speculation over his future.<\/p>\n
Despite admitting he is interested in leaving, the Netherlands international insisted he will not shirk his responsibilities if he fails to secure a transfer.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“As soon as I have to play here, or as soon as the league starts, I will give 100 per cent,” said Depay.<\/p>\n
“If you ask any player they want to play in big leagues at big clubs.<\/p>\n
“If a big club comes, I’ve got to discuss that but other than that I’m happy in Lyon, I’m happy with the players and the quality that we have.”<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
