Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas has played down speculation Barcelona are closing in on a move for Memphis Depay.
A report from the Netherlands claimed Barca have agreed to pay €25 million for the forward and could even unveil him later this week.
Yet Aulas has taken to Twitter in response to the report with the following message:
“The president of Barça told me on Sunday that Barça was suffering a lot from the Covid crisis and had no possibility of making an offer.”
It’s no secret that Barca have been hit financially hard by the coronavirus pandemic.
