Barcelona is set to sign Memphis Depay, Lyon captain, as a striker, Luis Suarez’s replacement at Camp Nou.
Barcelona had put Suarez up for sale with some other senior players.
Suárez, 33, still has a year left in his current contract with the Catalan club, but he is not in new Barcelona manager Ronald Koeman’s plans for next season.
The Uruguay international has been heavily linked with a move to Juventus and Ajax respectively in the past few days.
Meanwhile, speaking about the possibility of him leaving Lyon this summer, Depay said last month: “I don’t see the future, I don’t know if I will do the full season here. I have been here for four years, and I became a captain.
“After you have to look at your career, there is no Champions League. At the moment I don’t know.”
