Lyon manager Bruno Genesio has confirmed that he wants to sign Memphis Depay from Manchester United.
The Ligue Un side emerged as contenders for the winger’s signature way back in the summer, but are now leading the chase to rescue him from Old Trafford.
It has been reported that the French side have had a £13million bid rejected, and Genesio has confirmed that he intends to do a deal for the Dutchman.
“Memphis Depay is a player who I have prioritised,” Genesio said. “He is my number one priority.
“Contrary to what you have read or heard, I am a fan of Memphis Depay.
“He is a complete, powerful and powerful player. It operates on its side, an area that must be strengthened. He should be recruited as soon as possible.
“It’s not me who discusses the price. There are several parameters to take into account, the price is one. He’s a player __with huge potential, who’s still young, so he’s an interesting player for us.”
