Denier is owned by Man City, but spent the last three seasons on loan in Celtic, Galatasaray and Sunderland. This summer, he expected to permanently leave for Lyon. Contrary to this, the City gave Jason a lease in Girona, which could soon enter the City Football Group and become a sister club for the townspeople.

"Manchester City does not want to sell me. Or just under the condition of the right of repurchase for an amount close to the amount of the sale, which is meaningless for potential buyers, "Denier told the Belgian SportV.

"This means that the townspeople prefer to lease me. I have nothing against, but I would like to decide for myself where I should go. Lyon would be an ideal option. Ambitious club, interesting championship. I have already agreed a personal contract with the Weavers, but the City has vetoed the transfer and forces to move to Girona. Let's see what happens in the near future. If it is not possible to reach an agreement, then I will go to Girona, but reluctantly ".

"I would not want to play there. And not because I want to complicate my life - no, I like playing in teams that dominate. So that I could not only show myself, but also grow. I always had certain priorities. Now it is important that the club was among the grandees of its championship. Then - a good city and that he had good fans who are able to support high quality at home games. Financial aspect in last place. With Girona, the problem is that she just went to La Liga and is located in a small town. This is not what I need ".

Denier is also dissatisfied with the fact that last season he had to compete for the traditional challenger for the flight - Sunderland.

"It was the last day of the transfer window and the situation in the City resembled the last day of school. Everyone left. Joe Hart - in Torino, another guy - to Spain, and I was told to go to Sunderland, where I would have to fight the whole season for survival. I was not particularly happy, but decided not to argue. Could be worse. Be that as it may, it did not help to grow ".

As a result, Sunderland took the last place in the Premier League and flew out. On the account of Denayer 24 matches in the Premier League for the Black Cats.
