Catalan club is still awaiting final agreement on the transition from footballer.
Earlier, the Spanish media announced the signing of a contract between the Catalan Barcelona and the Dutch striker Memphis Depay on Monday, June 14, which ultimately did not happen for unnamed reasons..
Later, the head coach of “Blaugranas” Ronald Koeman, in an interview with the Spanish edition of Marca, had to answer another batch of questions from a journalist regarding the process of signing a contract with the ex-forward of French Lyon.
" As far as I know, negotiations are continuing at a fairly active pace.. He still hasn't signed the agreement, but he is already very close to it..
Back in January of this year, I wanted to make this deal, but even if he comes now, it will also be a positive moment for us, "
Also, Koeman spoke about the reasons for the breakdown of negotiations with midfielder Jorginho Wijnaldum: “I also had the opportunity to talk with Wijnaldum about the current situation. He had contacts with our club, but in the end he decided to move to PSG. This was due to the internal situation in Barcelona. Well, this is his full right "
Recall that last season, Depay had 40 matches for Lyon, scoring 22 goals and 12 assists.
