Lyon sporting director Juninho has launched a scathing attack of Memphis Depay, criticising the size of his ego.
The Dutch forward has reached an agreement to sign for Barcelona if Ronald Koeman remains the coach going into next season.
"Memphis wanted a team for him," Juninho told Lyon's official media channels.
"This isn't criticism. I had a good relationship with him.
"However, the whole team had to revolve around him, and that's very difficult because everyone has to feel like they're working together.
"I think he had to work harder without the ball and, unfortunately, other players started doing less as well.
"There are only four players in the world that can have everything done for them: [Lionel] Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo. If you have one of those two, it has to revolve around them. Neymar and [Kylian] Mbappe, too.
"I'm sorry, I know Memphis is good, but he's not at their level."
