'RMC': Depay and Aouar to stay at Lyon

Lyon will finally be able to count on Memphis Depay and Houssem Aouar. Sources from the French club confirmed it on Saturday to 'RMC Sport', so their exit is ruled out.

Both players will train with Lyon on Saturday and will be in Rudi García's squad for Sunday's match against Marseille.

On Friday, the deadline also ended that the club's president, Jean-Michel Aulas, gave for a major departure to take place. And there has been no offer for any of the two players to the level that Lyon are asking for.

'RMC Sport' assured that Memphis Depay kept pressuring his club to sign for Barcelona. However, the player and Spanish club will have to settle and not join paths.

Despite that, and due to the market ending on Monday, Lyon had a player lined up in case Depay left, and that was Robin Quason, 'RMC' indicated.

Hassem Aouar will not leave either. The talented midfielder had been linked with clubs such as Real Madrid, PSG, Arsenal, and Juventus, but in the end, will not leave France.

Zinedine Zidane even contacted the Lyon player to sound out his signing. The Real Madrid manager acknowledged that he still valued his signing.
