"Lyon" asked for "Barcos" star instead of M. Depay © JumpStory

„Barcelona“ coach Ronald Koeman has the opportunity to develop forward Memphis Depay in his team. The Catalans cannot pay the requested amount by „Lyon“ for the 26-year-old player, so the „Ligue 1“ club decided to change the course of negotiations. “El Chiringuito de Jugones“ reports that the French demanded to exchange players in January - they would like world champion Antoine Griezmann for the footballer. R. Koeman is not satisfied with the 29-year-old Frenchman's performances on the field, and the player himself cannot find his place in the club. M. Depay has scored 5 goals and made 3 assists in 8 matches in this “Ligue 1“ season. Meanwhile, A. Griezmann's statistics in Spain are worse: zero goals after 5 matches.
