Lyon has significantly reduced the price of their Dutch star.
captain
Memphis Depaytried hard this summer to leave the club for
Barcelona. Lyon, however, asked for €25 million, and therefore, the Catalan club could not sign Depay due to economic problems and especially
Dembele’s lack of interest to leave the club.
Barca are still interested in signing Depay and the boss,
Ronald Koeman
is still looking forward to recruit him to strengthen his attacking line.
Barcelona, however, now have a big rival in the winter transfer window, such as
PSG, and the two clubs are in competition to attract the Dutch star.
According to
L'Équipe
, Lyon is now ready to sell Depay for only €5 million. The € 20 million drop in Depay's price over the summer was unexpected, even though his contract will expire at the end of the season.
Depay
has scored 7 goals for Lyon in 15 games this season; Including the goal he scored against
Nice
last night with a spectacular Panenka penalty. Lyon managed to win the game 4-1 and went to the top of the table.
