LYON star Memphis Depay has hinted he could be leaving the club with a cryptic message.
Barcelona were linked with a move for the former Manchester United forward in the summer, but nothing materialised.

He has scored five goals in 12 games for his French club in all competitions so far this season.
Depay tweeted: “Y’all will appreciate me when im gone. Enjoy the Sunday.”
It came after he failed to score in Lyon’s 3-0 win against Reims in Ligue 1.
The 26-year-old was subbed off in the 71st minute.
Depay was hugely frustrated after his dream move to Barcelona in the summer collapsed.
He came close to sealing a reunion with former Dutch manager Ronald Koeman at the Nou Camp but a deal fell through over ‘certain rules.’
And Depay has appeared to hit out at the club, claiming problems behind the scenes.
Reported by Get French Football News, he said: “The title? That should be our aim.

“Even if I cannot say everything going through my head right now… in terms of what’s happening, what I am seeing at the club, there are things that I honestly can’t say.”
Barcelona are expected to reignite their interest in Depay in the January window.
According to publication Sport, a deal has been agreed with both the player and Lyon.
However, either Ousmane Dembele or Martin Braithwaite must leave first to ensure Barcelona keep on top of their massive wage bill.
It is believed Depay’s £25million transfer fee was the obstacle over the summer with the cash-strapped Catalan giants failing to raise the funds through player sales.
