Barcelona transfer target takes a shocking U-Turn leaving Koeman speechless
Ronald Koeman has been left speechless after his transfer target who was potentially ruled out this summer is now set to sign for Barcelona
Julen Lopetegui‘s Sevilla managed to end the optimistic start by Barcelona in the 2020/21 La Liga campaign as the fixture ended in a 1-1 draw. Philippe Coutinho is back to his very best form as the player scored the only goal for the Catalans. Ronald Koeman has to be credited for reviving Coutinho’s career at the Camp Nou by playing him in his natural position and letting him dictate the play.

However, despite the several positives from the game. The greatest positive for Koeman has come from France as Olympique Lyon’s Sporting Director has confirmed that Memphis Depay has an agreement with the Spanish side and that he could sign despite being the transfer deadline day. The Sporting Director of Lyon went on to state-
"It’s possible that tomorrow he signs for Barca but it is not certain. The most probable thing is that he goes.- According to SPORT"
Memphis Depay’s arrival on deadline day could be one of the biggest moves of this summer transfer market that has certainly been an exciting one.
However, Depay’s arrival could prove to be a threat for Antoine Griezmann who still continues to perform despite working under a new manager for the third time in his career at Barca.
