DBasia.news – Memphis Depay is eager to join Barcelona. No doubt he is reportedly going to rebel away from Olympique Lyonnais.
Barcelona have been trying to sign Depay since the start of this season. Unfortunately, the failure to release Ousmane Dembele left Barcelona without the space and money to bring Depay.
Barcelona is predicted not to fly the white flag just like that. Barca will again try to approach the striker in mid-season. Understandably, Depay is a player who was asked directly by Ronald Koeman.
However, the president of Lyon, Jean-Michel Aulas, will hold back Depay’s departure with all his might. Although, Depay will be on a free transfer at the end of the season as his contract expires in June 2021.
“I believe Depay will survive because we have to be successful this season. We need to protect the assets we have,” Aulas said as quoted by Marca.
“Lyon have a great chance of meeting the goals this season. I believe Memphis Depay can bring the team into a dimension that everyone wants to see. I am the first to say Depay is not going to Barcelona.”
Memphis Depay who saw this condition was ready to move to realize his dream of joining Barcelona. ESPN reports that Depay plans to force Lyon if they still close the door to Barcelona.
Memphis Depay is reborn in Lyon after experiencing a flop at Manchester United. So far, the Dutchman has scored 59 goals plus 46 assists in 148 games.
