Memphis Depay will compete his long awaited free transfer move from Lyon to Barcelona at the start of June.
The Dutch international has been heavily linked with a Catalonian reunion with former La Oranje boss Ronald Koeman ahead of the 2021/22 season with his contract in France expiring next month.
However, despite previous reports claiming Depay would only complete a move if Koeman’s own future was secure at the Camp Nou, he now looks set to agree a contract before the European Championships kicks off.
According to reports from French outlet L’Equipe, the final details are still being confirmed with Depay’s representatives and a formal announcement is expected before he joins up with Frank De Boer’s squad.
A move for Depay is set to kickstart a pattern of low key moves for Koeman this summer with the former defender linked with free transfer deals for Premier League duo Eric Garcia and Gini Wijnaldum.
