Lyon midfielder Yoann Gourcuff has reportedly turned down a new deal with Lyon.
The 27-year-old is out of contract next year and president Jean-Michel Aulas has stated his intention to pin the French international to fresh terms.
However, the two camps have been unable to reach an agreement with Gourcuff struggling for his place in Remi Garde's first team.
"I will let my lawyer handle it," Gourcuff told French publication L'Equipe. "An extension must be a sign of confidence from both parties, with everyone being satisfied.
"That fact that I've been injured regularly or often on the bench. I don't think it's relevant. I have not felt huge confidence from the club at times.
"Sometimes I find myself on the bench, like recently against Toulouse and Bastia. These are small signs. It does not hurt me but I take note."
The former Rennes, AC Milan and Bordeaux man has won 31 caps for his country.
