Nice president Jean Pierre Rivere has ruled out making
a move for Memphis Depay during the
January transfer window after admitting the Manchester United winger is out of his club's financial reach.
The Netherlands international is
currently out of favour under manager Jose
Mourinho and is expected to
leave United after just 18 months at Old Trafford. Everton manager Ronald
Koeman has already expressed his desire to bring Depay to Goodison Park this month as he looks to bolster his
attacking options with winger Yannick
Bolasie facing a long spell on the sidelines with a knee injury.
Rivere has
revealed he was also keen on a deal to sign Depay, but says he was forced to
scrap a swoop for the 22years old due to budget concerns. He said “We looked at him, like a lot of clubs have,
but it is extremely complicated… It is a situation which is out of our
financial reach, you have a club that bought him for a certain amount that
wants to sell him. When we looked at Depay, it was in another way, which is not
possible today. He was bought very expensively by Manchester United, they want
to possibly sell him and we cannot compete in this sort of situation.”
