Depay told NOS: “We will wait and see what happens … Tomorrow I will speak with Olympique Lyonnais.

“I know there is interest, but I can’t say much more, mainly because I haven’t talked much with my agent either.”

It’s emerged Barca hope to include Samuel Umtiti, a former OL player, in their offer for Depay. The Catalans rate Depay in the €25-30m class.

The striker’s OL contract is now inside the final 12 months.
