As we indicated to you on Wednesday (see here), FC Barcelona gives priority to Manchester City central defender Eric Garcia in this winter transfer window and does not have the necessary funds to recruit the Olympique Lyonnais striker Memphis Depay (26 years old, 17 games and 8 goals in L1 this season). This Thursday, the Catalan daily Mundo Deportivo explains, however, that Blaugrana coach Ronald Koeman is still insisting on the arrival of the Dutch international in January.
But the coach of the reigning vice-champion of Spain finds himself blocked for several reasons. First of all, without a sale Barca cannot afford any operation. In addition, with the presidential elections scheduled for January 24, the current 6th in La Liga refuses to make a decision on the Depay file without the approval of the future boss. The OL captain therefore seems to be on track to end this season with Les Gones.
