Memphis Depay posts message addressing his future amid intensifying Barca links
With his contract at Lyon set to expire at the end of the season, Memphis Depay has released an official statement regarding his future on his Twitter.
"It's time for me to take control of my career. As I have come to a point where I need to make important choices about my future, I have decided to negotiate my future deals together with my team of trusted confidants, backed by legal experts.

Meanwhile, it's been reported the Dutchman has reached an agreement with Barcelona regarding a summer move. Depay even agreed to undergo a pay cut in order to join Blaugrana, it's been said.
However, the transfer might depend on Ronald Koeman's future, as Memphis was a request from the coach. According to reliable outlets, Koeman is unlikely to continue at Camp Nou next season, which might result in Depay not joining the Catalans.
This term so far, the 27-year-old has played 39 matches for Lyon, recording 22 goals and 10 assists, as per Transfermarkt.
Xavi not yet a 'top' coach for Laporta, no consensus regarding his appointment — multiple sources
According to Cadena SER's reliable Sique Rodriguez, Xavi Hernandez is not yet a 'top' coach in Joan Laporta's eyes. The former Blaugrana midfielder has never been an option to coach Barcelona, it's added.
At the same time, the president is aware that parting ways with Ronald Koeman and landing a 'top' coach is going to cost a lot of money.
Another reliable source, COPE's Helena Condis, claims that there is no overall consensus regarding Xavi's appointment within the board. There are many other names on the list of potential Koeman successors, and the club believes that they have to thoroughly analyze everyone before deciding who should lead the new project at Barca.
Meanwhile, there have been reports from less reliable sources, namely Diario Sport and ARA, claiming that Xavi was the favourite to be appointed as Koeman's replacement.
Tribuna.com encourage you to treat every rumour with patience. The season isn't officially over, the pre-season is far away, so it's unlikely that we'll know who will sit in the dugout at Camp Nou in the 2021/22 season in the coming days.
