Player ‘wants to join’ Barcelona – Laporta and Koeman set for meeting over summer transfer business

Tuesday’s edition of Mundo Deportivo has an article on Barcelona’s chances of signing Memphis Depay at the end of the season.

The attacker’s Lyon contract expires at the end of the current campaign and he’s therefore free to speak to other clubs about a pre contract agreement.

Barcelona have been linked for many months, with it thought Ronald Koeman is keen on signing his compatriot and bringing him to the Camp Nou.

Mundo Deportivo state Depay ‘wants to join’ the La Liga club, which is no surprise given how he’s made his ambitions public on previous occasions.

Depay is aware of other clubs ‘lurking’ for his signing, but wants to wait and give Barcelona every chance to make a move for him in the coming months.

Joan Laporta is now set to have a meeting with Koeman to decide the priorities for the summer and in what order attempts will be made for players.

As ever, a lot will depend on the future of Lionel Messi and whether the Argentine decides to extend his contract with Barcelona.
