The Lyon president, Jean-Michel Aulas, believes Memphis Depay is chomping at the bit to show his “immense talent” as the Holland forward puts the final touches on his move from Manchester United. Aulas expects a deal to be concluded for the 22-year-old in the next 48 hours, with the transfer fee rising to £21.7m with bonuses. When you see him developing, you get the impression that he really wants to show his immense talent. Aulas said: “It was a dream, because he corresponds exactly with the player we were looking for. “This is a big operation, because I think it will be around €16.5m, with up to eight million in bonuses.
