Lyon will fall apart next season, and Canut predicts the future of his old club, which will benefit Barcelona and Manchester City.

In the eyes of Barcelona and Manchester City, Frederic Canut, the former king of sports, is obviously not optimistic about the prospect of his former parent team, Lyon, a French powerhouse. In his view, the "Lion" is very likely to lose a number of team cores such as Flanders Mendi, Ndombe Lai, Aoua and Fekir this summer.

This kind of interest is not new to the French team. Their youth training system has trained a large number of local talents, and then brought great wealth to themselves through player transfer. From Lyon itself, even if it is unwilling to let go of many of the team's cores, it is only helpless under the irresistible money offensive.

It is rumored that La Liga overlord Barcelona has taken a fancy to 23-year-old French international Flanders Mendi. Canut didn't shy away from this question and told the interviewer that he had enough football. He won't be surprised if it really happens.

"I watched some Lyon games, but not all of them, but Mendi has proved himself. He is really nice and energetic, and I like him very much. These qualities really make it possible for him to play in Camp Nou. "

"I have always known that Lyon's youth training is very good, which is why they always have excellent players. Whether it is Mendy or other players, Lyon's excellent system can always make them gain something. Lyon pays attention to youth training, which is very useful for them. "

"I watched all the performances of Ndombe Lai in the past few games, which really impressed me. His level, energy and strength are really amazing. He has almost everything, and he is still young. I'm sure many clubs are interested in him. Let's see what happens next. "

As for Aoua, there are rumors that Arsenal and Liverpool are vying for him off the pitch.

"He is a very elegant player. I think he will do well in La Liga. I am almost certain that he is a typical La Liga player and any club in the world will be interested in his talent. "

Last summer, Fekir, who won the World Cup with the French, was once close to joining Liverpool, but in the end he failed. Despite this disappointment, Fekir has achieved stable and excellent performance in Ligue 1 this season, but it is expected that more teams will bid for him in the next winter window.

"He was injured a few years ago, and everyone thought it was difficult for him to return to his present level. I think next summer will be very difficult for him, and the club will definitely receive many offers. He is the captain of Lyon, and he is very good. He was injured not long ago, so he can't leave the club. This is not the right time for him. But now he is ready to leave if the club agrees to reach a good agreement with them. "

Even if these players do transfer and leave, it will be later, and Lyon's focus now will only be now.

In the just-concluded Champions League 16 first leg, they drew with the powerful Barcelona, but Canut also admitted that it was almost impossible to eliminate the Catalan giants. However, the former Mali international also admitted that anything can happen in the football world.

"What do you need to do when you play against Barcelona? This is a very difficult question, and I don't have an answer. Otherwise, I think many clubs will hire me and give me millions of salaries. "

"It's really hard to know that Barcelona is a club with real history and philosophy, especially they also have Messi! All this will be very difficult and I wish them all the best. "

"In these two rounds, anything can happen. If they play in the same league, Lyon will never have a chance to win the league title, but it's only a knockout, and anything can happen. We have seen similar things in the past, even if it is very difficult. "
