Barcelona –
Barcelona finally got Memphis Depay. Really, what can Depay do for the Blaugrana?
Barcelona announces recruitment Memphis Depay on Sunday (20/6) yesterday. The 27-year-old player was brought in on a free transfer from Olympique Lyon.
Depay will be tied to a contract for two years. Barcelona coach has been waiting for his arrival, Ronald Koeman.
Reported from Brand, Ronald Koeman wanted Memphis Depay so badly since last season. What can be done, the club does not have enough money to bring him, because the income shortage was hit by the pandemic.
For this, Barcelona can get Depay for free. Although previously, Depay was also ogled by several clubs from Italy.
Ronald Koeman worked with Memphis Depay when he was still coaching the Dutch national team. Under Koeman’s polish, Depay shone brightly.
Koeman has installed Depay in 11 consecutive games. As a result, wow, Depay was able to pack 11 goals and 11 assists.

Ronald Koeman several times flattered Memphis Depay. He said Depay could be Barcelona’s new attack motor.
“Memphis Depay can be useful as a starting point for attacks, but he can also play deeper. He is strong, dynamic and can play well on both sides,” explained Koeman.
Attack line Barcelona itself is actually quite full of Ansu Fati, Ousmane Dembele, Martin Braithwaite, Antoine Griezmann, Sergio Aguero, and of course Lionel Messi. The first two names are injured, which will still be absent next season.
It is believed, Depay will be guaranteed entry in the main squad. Then Koeman just mix it up, to make the Blaugrana more fertile goals.
Memphis Depay last season performed brilliantly with Lyon. He scored 20 goals and 12 assists from 37 matches in the French League.
