Barcelona 'highly unlikely to sign Memphis Depay, Eric Garcia in January'

A report claims that Barcelona are highly unlikely to move for Memphis Depay or Eric Garcia in January as focus is instead on the upcoming presidential election.

Barcelona will reportedly delay making a move for Lyon forward Memphis Depay and Manchester City defender Eric Garcia until the end of the season.

The Catalan giants tried and failed to bring in both players during an underwhelming summer window that was dominated by talk of Lionel Messi's future.

Ronald Koeman recently reiterated his desire to sign both players, with Barca tipped to bring in the duo in January.

Spanish outlet Marca claims that is highly unlikely to be the case, though, with focus now solely on the club's upcoming elections following Josep Maria Bartomeu's resignation last week.

The report indicates that the new president, who is unlikely to be formally in office at the time of the window opening, would need to ratify any transfers.

Depay and Garcia are due to become free agents next July, meaning that they are allowed to discuss a transfer with foreign clubs from the turn of the year.
