On the move: France midfielder Florent Malouda says he is leaving Lyon

"It's just a question of time. (Lyon president) Jean-Michel Aulas has said June 30 was the limit (for transfers) and that suits me."

Malouda, 26, joined Lyon from Guingamp in 2003 and helped them win four consecutive Ligue 1 titles.

Aulas however revealed the club have not yet received a bid for rumoured Liverpool target Malouda.

The left winger is reported to be on Reds boss Rafael Benitez's summer shopping list but the Spaniard has not made a formal approach, according to Aulas.

"We have not yet had any bid for Florent Malouda," he told the club's official website, www.olweb.fr.
