Depay hints Barca deal is close

Published on: 

Netherlands star Memphis Depay has hinted that he is on the verge of sealing a move to Barcelona as he admitted his desire to team up again with former national team coach Ronald Koeman.

“Things will become clear with the transfer. I want to leave it at that for now,” Depay said after being asked about his club future at a press conference ahead of the Netherlands’ Euro 2020 game on Thursday against Austria.

“Everyone knows that I have been linked to Barcelona for a long time and that I want to play under Ronald Koeman. “Let’s wait and see.”

Depay, 27, is a free agent after opting not to extend his contract with Lyon, for whom he scored 20 goals in the past Ligue 1 season.
