Barcelona manager Ronald Koeman is reportedly keen to reunite with Dutch forward Memphis Depay at Camp Nou, and the Catalan giants are ready to table a £22m bid.

Barcelona are reportedly lining up a £22m move for Lyon forward Memphis Depay ahead of the new La Liga campaign.

Having recently replaced Quique Setien in the Camp Nou dugout, new Barca manager Ronald Koeman is expected to oversee a significant overhaul of his squad this summer.

Koeman and Depay worked closely together during the former's time as Netherlands manager, and Koeman is reportedly keen on a reunion with the 26-year-old in Catalonia.

According to Post United, Barca are set to land the Dutch forward in a deal worth €25m (£22m), with Depay's contract at Lyon set to expire next summer.

The former Manchester United man has chalked up 57 goals in 139 games for Lyon across all competitions, and Depay marked Lyon's first game of the 2020-21 Ligue 1 campaign with a hat-trick in a 4-1 victory against Dijon.

While current Barca forward Luis Suarez appears to be inching closer towards the Camp Nou exit doors, Lionel Messi has confirmed that he will stay on in Catalonia just one week after submitting a transfer request.
