Ronald Koeman arrived to the FC Barcelona in a staff that already had reinforced with three signings -Miralem Pjanic, Francisco Trincao and Pedri- and was connoisseur of the complicated that was to the market. With Sergiño Dest to cover the gap left by Nélson Semedo, the Dutch trainer had clear that had to reinforce the team with more signings, especially in the offensive plot.

Memphis Depay, that finishes agreement with the Olympique of Lyon the next month of June and that supposed an opportunity of market, went the elected by Ronald Koeman, that had directed him in the selection of the Low Countries and considered that it also would be ideal to relieve to Luis Suárez in the FC Barcelona. By subjects of 'fair play' financial, his contracting was not possible, but in winter will go back to try his signing.

"The signing of Memphis Depay is a possibility. It would like me have him"

Ronald Koeman knows perfectly the virtues of Memphis Depay and considers that it would give a lot of depth in the forward. "I do not have this paper, depends of the club. For me, therefore, it is only question to expect. We wanted to him because it is a big player and because has qualities that, in my opinion, are missing us: especially depth in the game of attack", explained.

In this sense, Ronald Koeman commented that Memphis Depay is a distinct forward to the rest of which the FC Barcelona has, by what would give a lot of versatility forward. "The majority of the attackers of the Barcelona want the balloon in the feet, Memphis can use like starting point, but also can send it in depth. It is strong, dynamic and can play so much from the forward as from the left", argued.

Dembélé Remained and Depay did not arrive

The trainer of the FC Barcelona ensured that it already had tied to Memphis Depay from summer and that only the frustrated sale of Ousmane Dembélé avoided the arrival of his compatriot. "Of course that I spoke him of my ideas in advance. In principle all was smart, but because of the rules of The League knew that first we had to sell a player. At the end no sucedió. Pity, but Memphis also knew which was the situation", sentenced.
