Ronald Koeman has sent a very clear message to his leaders: he wants Memphis Depay and Eric Garcia this winter.
Forced to do without Gerard Pique and Ansu Fati, both injured, for a few more months, Ronald Koeman is counting on the winter transfer window to strengthen his workforce. In any case, this is what the Sports world in today’s edition. The Catalan media even assures that the Dutch tactician has already put pressure on his leaders to recruit Eric Garcia and Memphis Depay next January. A true darling of Koeman when the latter coached the selection of the Netherlands, Memphis Depay would reinforce Barça’s attack and most certainly take Antoine Griezmann’s place, once Ansu Fati has recovered.
As for Eric Garcia’s transfer, it is only a matter of time. At the end of his contract with Manchester City in June 2021, the young 19-year-old defender has already warned Pep Guardiola about his desire to discover Catalonia. But to let it slip away this winter, the Citizens are demanding at least 20 million euros. A sum far beyond the expectations of FC Barcelona, which could wait until June to recover it for free.
