Write down this name: Memphis Depay. He is the striker chosen by Ronald Koeman to rejuvenate Barcelona's attack, as announced this Thursday by the station Rac1. The Dutch attacker (26 years old) would come to replace Luis Suárez, who has all the numbers to leave the Blaugrana discipline, although he has one year left on his contract and his environment has been totally against a possible exit this summer.
However, Koeman's roadmap is unstoppable and the technical secretariat has already taken good note of the men that the Dutch coach wants for his new project.
Depay, currently at Olympique de Lyon, stands out for its speed and physical strength. He is a versatile striker, who can fall perfectly on the wings. Also it would be a much more affordable investment than Inter striker Lautaro Martínez, until now the number one objective of the technical secretariat.
Depay has a contract until 2021, so Barcelona values paying a maximum of 40 million, taking into account that next season would be free and could come free.
The next target in order to rejuvenate the team would be the Dutch half of Ajax, Donny van de Beek, also claimed by Real Madrid. However, the presence of Koeman on the Blaugrana bench could end up decanting the international towards Barcelona. At 23 years old, He is one of the great promises of football ‘oranje’ and he would come to ’retire’ in the Rakitic team, whose days at the club are numbered.
