Barca coach Koeman sees Depay as Suarez replacement

Barcelona coach Ronald Koeman is lining up a move for Lyon attacker Memphis Depay.

RAC1 says Koeman sees Depay as a striker and plans to replace Luis Suarez with the Holland international.

Indeed, Koeman is arguing Depay would be a more affordable attacking signing than Inter Milan ace Lautaro Martinez.

Depay has a deal with Lyon to 2021 and Barca rate the former Manchester United winger at €40m.

Along with Depay, Koeman is also keen on fellow Dutchman Donny van de Beek, of Ajax.
