TOP STORY: Barca strike deal with Depay
Barcelona have agreed personal terms with Lyon's Memphis Depay, according to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, but talks still are ongoing with the French club over a fee for the forward.
Depay, 26, is out of contract next summer and Lyon sporting director Juninho Pernambucano admitted earlier this week that the player's in a "strong position" if he wants to force an exit.
Sources told ESPN that Barca's top target to strengthen their attack was Inter Milan forward Lautaro Martinez. But with the Argentine commanding a hefty transfer fee, the Catalan club have been forced to look at alternatives.
New coach Ronald Koeman is pressing for Memphis, who he coached in his previous role as Netherlands manager. The former Manchester United man is likely to cost between €20-€30 million.
However, Barca need to raise money by selling before they can buy. So far, only Ivan Rakitic has left the club since the Bayern Munich thrashing, joining Sevilla for an initial €1.5m, and more players will have to leave before Barca can think about adding to their squad.
Luis Suarez, Arturo Vidal and Samuel Umtiti are among the big names that have been told they can leave, along with a number of fringe players and players returning from loans.
