New Barcelona manager, Ronald Koeman, has opted against
signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Arsenal.
Koeman instead wants to get Memphis Depay from Lyon,
according to respected Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
Depay is understood to have agreed personal terms with the
LaLiga giants already.
However, both clubs are yet to agree on a fee, as Barca has
not made an official bid for the Dutch forward.
“Barcelona are working to get Memphis Depay – personal terms
agreed but no official bid to OL yet.
“Barça also started contacts to sign Aubameyang weeks ago,
but Koeman wants Depay and Auba decided to extend his contract with Arsenal
[agreed until 2023 and official soon],” Romano tweeted.
Koeman however has to convince Lionel Messi that Depay is
the right man for the team, with the Argentine preferring his compatriot
Lautaro Martinez.
