Dutch forward Memphis Depay has revealed he is keen to move to one of the top five clubs in Europe in an astonishing interview with a German magazine.

The 24-year-old joined Manchester United for £25m from PSV Eindhoven in 2015, but made only 33 appearances in the Premier League before signing for Olympique Lyon in a £22m deal in January 2017.
His deal with Lyon runs until 2021, but he is already eyeing a move away from the French club he claims is "big" but "not one of the five best in Europe".
Interestingly enough, United are not among the top five clubs in Europe that he would be keen on joining.
“Lyon is a big club, but not one of the five best in Europe,” said Depay in an interview with Helden magazine.
“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.
“I always talk about Real Madrid, a royal club, white shirts with gold. But I’m focused right now on Lyon, and then we see where I end up.”
