Barcelona Transfers: Top 5 Strikers for 2021/22 Season

#3 Memphis Depay (Age: 27 | Club: Olympique Lyonnais)

Memphis Depay is the player whom Koeman badly wanted to sign at the beginning of the season. Although the Dutch player is not a striker traditionally, he can play as a number nine and Koeman has the experience of playing Depay as the number nine for the Netherlands National team. Barcelona were unable to find enough funds for him in the last transfer window however, his contract with Lyon is coming to an end and he will be a free agent at the end of the season.

This will be very favorable for the Catalans as they are going through a financial crisis and they must look at free agents as it will dismiss the need of paying a transfer fee. Depay has also proved himself quite well and he has scored 20 goals in all competitions along with nine assists. Koeman has already worked with him before and will thus know exactly how to use him and thus Depay is a good and safe option for the Blaugranas.
