Barcelona are getting closer to signing Lyon striker Memphis Depay.

Depay was a target last summer with Ronald Koeman wanting him to arrive. The player himself would love to come to Barca.

L'Equipe says that negotiations between Barca and his agents have accelerated in recent weeks and they are close to a deal. That should come in the coming days but not before La Liga and Ligue 1 are over.

The Lyon striker is willing to take a pay cut and won't be among the highest earners. However, his deal will rise progressively.

Depay would also get a decent sign-on fee. This season he has 22 goals and 10 assists in 39 games, with one match to go. His best numbers in the last three years.
