Inter Milan are tracking Lyon’s Memphis
Depay as Antonio Conte wants to add the exciting
attacker to the Nerazzurri front-line.
Manchester United had been keeping tabs on
the Dutchman but he is believed to opt against
a return to the Reds.
Depay, 26, joined Lyon from United back in
2017 after enduring a tough 18-months with
the Reds which saw him fail to impress ex-managers
Louis Van Gaal and Jose Mourinho before eventually
being sold on for just over £14m.
Since the forward’s arrival in France he
has gone onto showcase some of his best form
after most recently helping his side reach
last season’s Champions League semi-finals.
The 26-year-old’s Lyon future has been thrown
into doubt since the popular French club failed
to qualify for next season’s Champions League
after finishing seventh in the Ligue 1 table.
Lyon’s failure to secure European football
next season has prompted speculation that
the exciting attacker could make a move away
from the Groupama Stadium this summer.
No official approach has yet to be made for
Depay, however, one destination the player
is unlikely to be heading for is Manchester
United.
United entered a clause into the 2017 deal
which saw Depay join Lyon which granted the
Reds a ‘first consideration’ option, it
is understood that despite United potentially
having the option to pursue Depay, they’re
unlikely to do so because the Dutchman does
not want an Old Trafford reunion.
