The dutch Memphis Depay, on the agenda of major European clubs, including Barcelona, assured this Tuesday that his mind is “one hundred percent” in Lyon and that he does not want to think about his future so as not to lose concentration.
“We have a great team, a great collective. I don't know what will happen later, but I am a player, a captain, and the most important thing is to win games and work. If I think about the future, I may lose concentration. For now, I am 100% focused on Lyon “he said at a press conference. On the interest of Barcelona, he said: “I can not say anything about that, there are many interested clubs, but right now I am here.”
Depay, 26, ends his contract at the end of this season and Barcelona's coach, also Dutchman Ronald Koeman, has requested his signing to reinforce his team's attack.
The Lyon captain, whose team is second in the league behind Lille after having beaten Paris Saint-Germain last Sunday in the Parc des Princes, asked not to raise expectations, despite the fact that they have chained eleven games without defeat.
“We are creating a beautiful and hungry team, we improve in each game. But the most important thing is to go game by game. I don't like to think beyond. Our goal is still to qualify for the next Champions League “he commented.
