Lyon forward Memphis Depay confirms Barcelona interest

Lyon forward Memphis Depay has insisted that he is yet to speak with his agent regarding interest from Barcelona.

Since the managerial appointment of Ronald Koeman, Barcelona have been heavily linked with an approach for his compatriot, who has less than a year remaining on his contract.

Despite claiming that he is yet to hold discussions with his representatives, the player is aware that a bid may be made for his services over the coming weeks.

Speaking to NOS, the 26-year-old said: "We have to wait to see what happens. I know about the interest from Barcelona, but I can't say any more right now.

"I'll speak with Lyon soon and we'll see. I haven't even spoken much about this with my agent."

Barcelona are said to be hopeful of concluding a £17m deal before the end of the summer transfer window.
