Memphis Depay is expecting to maintain his interest by focusing on Lyon after struggling to obtain a move to Barcelona before the transfer deadline.
“some rules” stopped Memphis Depay from swapping Lyon for Barcelona, he announced in the previous transfer window.
After the arrival of new head coach Ronald Koeman, Barca was closely associated with Depay’s transfer.
The Dutch international had reached terms with the Catalan giants, but between the clubs for the transfer deadline on Monday it was not possible to reach an agreement.
Depay told NOS: “It was pretty close.”
“We don’t need to go into all the details, but there were certain rules that prevented it, unfortunately.”
“But I believe everything happens for a reason. I now focus on Lyon and want to be important there again.”
“We’ll see how things are going again afterward. If I do my thing, the interest may still be there. I just have to switch that switch now.”
