'Who wouldn't want to play there?': Memphis Depay publicly teases move to Barcelona, with Lyon star 'willing to FORCE a January switch' rather than wait for a free transfer next summer as Ronald Koeman plots another bid

Memphis Depay is reportedly ready to force through a January transfer to Barcelona after admitting any player would want to join the LaLiga side.

Barca boss Ronald Koeman was desperate to sign the Lyon winger when he arrived at the Nou Camp in the summer but the Catalans struggled to raise the funds to complete the transfer.

The cost of the coronavirus pandemic as well as the failure to sell players like Ousmane Dembele, whose move to Manchester United broke down, prevented Depay's move to the Catalans from going through.
