Memphis Depay may still leave Olympique Lyon for Barcelona, ​​Juninho confirmed on Sunday evening. The technical director of the French club confirms opposite Téléfoot Chaine that the Orange International is personally round with the Catalans and that he may sign with the Spanish superpower on Monday. A contract for the attacker is ready in Spain until mid-2025. Opposite Depay’s possible arrival at Barcelona is the possible departure of Ousmane Dembélé.

A possible transfer from Depay to Barcelona has been in the air since Ronald Koeman was appointed as trainer. “Depay has an agreement with Barcelona, ​​we make no secret of that,” said Juninho after Lyon’s 1-1 draw against Olympique Marseille. “It is possible that Memphis will sign for Barça tomorrow, but it is not certain. He is the most likely player to leave. ” Dembélé seems to be leaving Camp Nou; the France international may start working for Manchester United.

On Sunday evening, Depay was sitting on the bench at Lyon. Trainer Rudi Garcia got questions about the absence of the Dutchman just before the showdown. “I have made my decisions depend on the shape of my players, but also what can happen tomorrow, for example at Memphis,” the coach told French media. He thus acknowledged that Depay may be leaving. “I have faith in the footballers who I know will be here tomorrow, like Houssem Aouar. I am very pleased with that.”

Reported in September The Telegraph all that Depay agreed with Barcelona. A transfer was stopped by the Spanish Football Association at the time. At that time, the club did not yet meet all the conditions set by the Spanish government when granting a financial support package to stay afloat in the corona crisis. The newspaper also reported that there was an agreement between both clubs on a transfer fee of 25 million euros, an amount that can increase by 5 million via bonuses. Lyon firmly denied the coverage. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, both clubs will resume negotiations ‘in the coming hours’.
