Govou has been left angered by the contradictory messages he has received from club president Jean-Michel Aulas.

Despite reassurances from new manager Claude Puel that he remains in the club's plans, the 28-year-old remains unsure as to whether the seven-times Ligue 1 champions are planning to sell him or not.

The France international, who has spent his entire career at Lyon, said: "Jean-Michel Aulas says one thing and then another.

"One day I've got permission to leave, the next they want to offer me a contract extension. Me, I don't get involved in the matter. I let him talk and then we'll see what happens.

"I'm 29 years old (on July 27) so I don't expect anything anymore. It's true that when I was younger I would have liked people to say to me 'Sidney, we're not going to let you leave', but at my age I don't need it.

"Honestly, I don't give a damn."
