Juninho Pernambucano: "Depay has an agreement with the FC Barcelona"

It seems that in spite of the need of the team blaugrana to reinforce the central zone of the defence, the directive decided to bet by a signing for the forward. The rumour that more was sounding for this position in Barcelona was Memphis Depay and seemed very likely that finished doing reality before closing the market of summer.

During these last months Juninho Pernambucano and Jean-Michel Classrooms, sportive director and president of the Olympique of Lyon, had given contradictory informations about the Dutch forward.

In spite of the past statements, finally was the sportive director the one who spoke after the last meeting of the French team, in press conference: "Still they remain him twelve months of agreement. Has an agreement with the Barcelona. We do not hide it. It is possible that fiche morning but the Barcelona, but is not safe. The most likely is that it go ", said.

The curious is that these words arrived few hours after Classrooms reaffirmed in the theory that Memphis would not go out of any of the ways. It commented that it would be to disposal of the trainer if it needed it for this same Sunday. In fact, the Dutch forward, in spite of not going out to title, played some minutes going out of the bench.

The end of the serial of Memphis Depay

After a very long summer seemed that, at last, the star of the Olympique of Lyon went to move away of France to arrive to Barcelona. Here, it would have had all the support of the changing room and especially of Frenkie of Jong and of the technician Ronald Koeman. In spite of being compatriots, this last would have had to break the head to find him a place in the eleven headline.

Finally, the traspaso has not done official because of the refusal of Ousmane Dembélé to abandon the Barcelona to put course to the Manchester United, what was an indispensable condition so that it landed Depay in the Camp Nou.
