Netherlands v France - UEFA Nations League A

Leaving Manchester United for Lyon was the best thing Memphis Depay ever did. The Dutchman has regained his confidence, his PSV form and is now looking for the next big challenge.

The forward has expressed his interest in leaving Lyon and has also named the clubs he wishes to join. Real Madrid, Barcelona, Chelsea, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich but Los Blancos are said to be his prefered destination.

“I want a new transfer to a top-level club this summer. Lyon is a big club but it's not one of the five best in Europe,” Depay told in an interview with Dutch magazine, Helden.

“I want to go to a club like Real Madrid, Barcelona, Chelsea, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain or Bayern Munich. I want to go to a city that suits me and a club that suits me, to a team that really wants to play football.”

He also said:

"I always talk about Real Madrid, a royal club. White and gold shirts."

Manchester United, despite not being on Depay's list of prefered clubs, do have a buy-back clause on his contract at Lyon.
