New Barcelona boss Ronald Koeman has recommended former Manchester United winger Memphis Depay to the club's board as a potential recruit this summer, according to reports in Spain.
The 26-year-old scored 15 goals and recorded two assists for Lyon during the 2019/20 season and recovered from a serious knee injury to form part of the side that reached the Champions League semi-finals.
Ajax star Donny van de Beek and Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum have also been linked with a move to the Camp Nou, but RAC1 claim their compatriot Depay now also features on a list of potential targets.
The forward was an essential part of the Netherlands side managed by Koeman until he was announced as Quique Setien's replacement at the club, and with 10 goals in 18 games he is now reportedly Koeman's primary target in attack this summer.
The 26-year-old has also developed into the star attacking player at Lyon – netting 53 goals in 136 appearances after a torrid time at Manchester United.
He scored just seven goals in 53 appearances for the Old Trafford club before joining the Ligue 1 side in 2017.
Barcelona too may need a new forward this summer if Luis Suarez does depart the club, with former side Ajax heavily linked.
Depay is also set to depart Lyon after they failed to claim a European spot next season despite their excellent Champions League run.
Memphis has a contract until 2021 with the French side and reportedly has an asking price of £49million (€55m), which could be lowered due to the lack of time left on his deal.
