- Jordi Cruyff says that Depay is not a pure centre-forward.
- Besides, the Catalans already have three players with the same profile: Messi, Griezmann and Coutinho.
“It has to be very clear that Memphis Depay is not a pure centre-forward. He can play in that position and on both wings. The thing is, at Barcelona, you already have Leo Messi, Antoine Griezmann and Philippe Coutinho there,” former Blaugrana player Jordi Cruyff has told El Larguero.
According to the latest reports, the Catalans believe €5-6m would be enough to land Depay in January as the Dutchman’s contract with Lyon expires already next summer.
Ronald Koeman has said several times that his squad lacks a centre-forward. The coach reportedly sees Memphis as a great option to cover the position.
