Lyon winger Michel Bastos has spoken of his desire to stay at the club despite speculation linking the player to a move to the Premier League.
Liverpool, Tottenham and Newcastle have all been linked to the former Seleção star but the player wants to stay in France.
Bastos told L’Equipe: “I don’t want to leave now. I want to stay. During the winter break I will not go back to Brazil, I will stay at Lyon to work with the fitness coach.
“In a transfer both parties have to agree. If I see that it is not good for me, I will not leave. At the start of the season I did ask to leave, but things have changed.
“In the summer I wasn’t disappointed not to go to Dubai. On a sporting level I would have lost a lot. I know I can still bring a lot to Lyon.”
