Olympique Lyon boss Bruno Genesio admits he wants a deal for Manchester United attacker Memphis Depay this week.
Genesio hopes to have Depay available by the weekend.
He told RMC: "We're still in discussions. I think things are moving forward, but nothing is being done for now.
"The priority? For a while, yes, since we asked ourselves in which sector we wanted to strengthen the team. With Florian (Maurice, head of the recruiting), with the president, he is a player who has been given priority because we think he has great potential to strengthen us.
"Ideally, it would be perfect (if he's in Lyon this weekend). We'll see how things develop."
