Lautaro Martínez is the forward wished by the FC Barcelona, but his arrival is an utopia. Ronald Koeman, however, has clear his plan 'B'
Luis Suárez has been a very important figure in the FC Barcelona, but his days in the Camp Nou can be finishing. His contínuas injuries have affected of remarkable form to his performance and, in spite of that keeps season after season like the maximum second goleador of the team after Leo Messi, the irregularity in his game and his 33 years of age do that from the Barcelona team have decided give him relief.
From it does a lot of months knows that the elected to relieve to Luis Suárez is Lautaro Martínez, that to his 22 years has turned into the big star of the Inter of Milan and in one of the mainstays of the Argentinian football. The problem is that, in spite of that the player would be loved to dress of Barcelona, the club lombardo would not facilitate his exit and only would sell to an astronomical price.
The pandemia of the coronavirus has left to the FC Barcelona without an important quantity of income and, therefore, have reduced a lot the economic resources of the Catalan entity to be able to fichar and keep a mass salarial so big like the current. It is thus that foresees very complicated that the Barcelona club can satisfy the economic expectations of the Inter of Milan by the sale of Lautaro Martínez and much less if Luis Suárez does not go .
As we explain in 'FCBN' this same Thursday, the arrival of Lautaro Martínez is one of the priorities of the new trainer, Ronald Koeman, that understands that it has to renew the forward. Nevertheless, in front of the difficulty of his arrival, the Dutch technician would have proposed an alternative and, according to the informations desveladas by 'RAC1', the name that has put on the table is the one of Memphis Depay, attacker of the Olympique of Lyon.
As in the case of Donny go of Beek or of Georgino Wijnaldum, other two requests of Ronald Koeman for the centre of the field, Memphis Depay has been a key piece for the new Barcelona technician during his already finalised stage in the Dutch selection. His profile of polyvalent forward, that can play in the centre or in the bands, convinces to the new trainer culé, that thinks that to his 26 years is prepared to give the jump.
Memphis Depay, more affordable
Memphos Depay Finishes agreement with the Olympique of Lyon June of 2021 and the past month of May already expressed to the directive of the French group that would not renew and that his intention is to change of airs. In the conjoint Frenchman know that if they do not achieve to convince to the Dutch to renew, could lose him free in less than a year. It is thus that if the interest of the FC Barcelona fructifica, the culés could carry to the attacker by an attractive and much more affordable price that the one of Lautaro Martínez.
