Lyon striker Karim Benzema has admitted he could leave the club if they fail to progress in the UEFA Champions League.
The 21-year-old has been linked with several clubs, including Real Madrid and Manchester United.
Lyon will face Barcelona in the last 16 of the Champions League this season.
“I have reflected a bit on this subject during the winter break,” he told French newspaper 10 Sport.
“I’d like to keep my opinion to myself before speaking about it to my family and my agent. But yes, we will have to see what happens after Barcelona.
“We have to stop all this talk about Lyon (underachieving) and to do that, we need to get past the quarter-finals.
“I love this club. I want to stay. But I would also really like it if we stopped getting knocked out in the last 16.”
