Just In: Ronald Koeman’s Close Friend Confirms Depay Signing by Oldboss(m): 4:45pm On Jun 14, 2021 |
While the UEFA Euro 2020 may be going on in full flow,
Barcelona are making quite a lot of progress in the
transfer market as Joan Laporta & co. look to right the
wrongs of the past and take the club back to its glory
days.
Barcelona have already completed three signings for this
summer and it seems like the fourth one is also on its
way. Indeed, as reported by La Porteria, journalist Lluis
Canut, a close aide of the Catalans’ manager Ronald
Koeman, has given away the identity of the next player
set to arrive at Camp Nou.
And, it is none other than Netherlands superstar Memphis
Depay. The Olympique Lyon captain has been on the
radars of Barcelona ever since Koeman was made the
manager of the club last year. While a move for the
Dutchman failed last summer, the Blaugrana have
maintained their interest in him and are now close to
getting their man.
Depay is in the final weeks of his contract with Lyon and
has confirmed that he will be leaving on a free transfer.
While there has been plenty of interest from other clubs in
the ex-Manchester United winger, a move to Camp Nou
always seemed the most likely outcome, considering his
past association with Koeman when the latter was the
manager of the Netherlands national team.
And Canut, who is known to provide the scoop on
Koeman, has now sensationally claimed: “Memphis
Depay is already signed.” This development comes after
Mundo Deportivo had claimed that the 27-year-old’s
signing was all but done this past weekend.
Depay is coming on the back of a brilliant season for
Lyon, during which he netted 22 goals in 40 games. The
Dutchman has been in good form heading into the Euros
as well. Should he be able to carry that form forward when
he joins Barcelona, he will prove to be a stunning bargain
for the Catalan giants. |
