The 'KO' of Ansu Fati will cause that the Barça was forced to go to the market to achieve more variants in his forward. The player of the Lyon, Depay, is the main option

Calendar of FC Barcelona

The FC Barcelona carries months looking for the signing of the forward of the Olympique Lyon, Memphis Depay, and with the injury of Ansu Fati, that will be drop by four months, up to now, the Barcelona club will reactivate his efforts to achieve the contracting of the Dutch, one of the players that Ronald Koeman has asked from his lelgada to the Camp Nou during the summer.

The trainer understands that, in front of a so important drop like Ansu Fati, has to have more variants for his forward. Of agreement to the information that publishes 'Sport', the operative margin of the club is minimum, but can that the Managing Board blaugrana, chaired by Carles Tusquets, of the 'OK', as long as it achieve lighten to the staff and the mass salarial.

Memphis Depay Would arrive with a very low price in January. The forward finishes his agreement with the Lyon in June of 2021 and does not have intentions to negotiate an extension of the agreement. To principle of year, will be able to negotiate his free exit of the club for the summer, or abandon the club by a lower cost, but would depend (once again) of the French club.

Depay, easier of fichar that Eric García

From Can Barça consider that in January will be much easier to achieve the signature of Memphis Depay that the one of the defender of the Manchester City, Eric García. The reason, as it explains 'Sport', is that the Lyon and his president Jean-Michel Classrooms, would facilitate the sale of the Dutch forward during the wintry market, when they still can ingresar money by his exit. In the case of García, is much more complicated the situation. Although it could arrive free in the summer, the City of Guardiola rejects to leave him leave and will not reduce his cost.

They are two necessary signings, but the economic crisis by which crosses the club will not allow the arrival of both to the Camp Nou. With the defensive problems of the blaugranas, Eric García was the main aim, but lto injury of Ansu Fati changed completely the panorama of the club because, although there are players in the able staff to replace him, Koeman understands that it needs more than a variable for suplir his drop.
