Depay, who is on a free transfer due to his expiring contract with Olympique Lyonnais, has been associated with Barcelona for a year. However, the Catalan club is struggling with a huge debt burden, so that the transition could not be concluded earlier.
Now little seems to stand in the way of the transition. Whether the 27-year-old Depay expects other clubs to seriously report in the battle for his signature? “I do not think so.”
Reunion with Koeman
It is no longer news that Depay has a preference for a switch to Camp Nou. “I’ve always said that I would love to play for Barcelona or Koeman.”
Under Ronald Koeman as national coach, Depay grew into the absolute trendsetter of Orange, with a particularly high return as a central striker. Since Koeman exchanged the Dutch national team for his dream job at Barcelona last year, the rumors about Depay have also started.
These are becoming more and more persistent, especially when shirts with the print ‘Memphis’ were offered through the online fan shop of Barcelona last week. Yes, Depay had received that too. But he said that was a bit premature. “I think the website was after that on lock.”
